Yeah, I concur with the political resistance to politico-religion, I get very annoyed when people conflate these people (zealots, or idiots as I like to call them) with the people who have faith, but not as a means to political/ ethical sanctity - I always come back to 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'. I personally struggle a lot with my Catholicism, but I'm certainly far from being an atheist - the most important thing is that I don't really want my faith, however confused and strange it is, to be the part of my personality that informs my arguments. But this gets into a whole different kettle of fish - loosely, I agree entirely with most criticisms of religions as political entities.
