Science & faith are necessarily entwined with politics. Here are some
references:
"When the church gets aligned with a political party -- left or right --

divisions to enter religion, author and activist Tony Campolo said on a
Sunday talk show."
-- Tony Campolo, who worries that religion will be harmed by being mixed
with politics, speaking on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopolous.
