Why Relgions should stay out of politics

Can we say, "Un-freakin-believable?"  I'll reiterate what I've always said, "Churches should stay out of politics."  Why would I say that?  It could be because the Church's job isn't to influence policies, or to influence science, but in reality, it is because the Church is supposed to take care of people, without government help. Or maybe it's because of stupidity like this.

As usual, when religion and politics intermingle, people forget about science and about common sense.  350/million is stated as the upper limit of CO2 in the atmosphere.  What would a church know about what happens when it goes above?  As a scientist, I can tell you that in the billions of years that the Earth has been around, it has never gone above the 350/million.  If anything, everytime CO2 has gone up, plants have flourished and O2 has been released to counteract the CO2.

It it true that we are supposed to be stewards of the world, but that doesn't mean that we need churches telling us what to do, or even governments.  We should be working as individuals to fix our problems.

There have been rumors that Al Gore wants his brand of Enviro-nonsense to be recognized as a religion.  For Real?  Science that 1/2 of the scientists in the world now disagree with should be a religion?  What's next, Church of Optimus Prime?
