Just because a politician claims to be religious, or even act like a
religious zealot, does not mean they are truly of that religious faith.
They could just as easily be faking it to get votes and/or be popular; when
in fact they are more likely agnostic.  Except for Jimmy Carter - a fish out
of water kind of guy - most of the Presidents have shown hints of
skepticism. hell, Lincoln 'could' have very well been an agnostic bisexual
(maybe, maybe not).  The only other President who kind a showed to be a
religious zealot was Truman, and he ordered the dropping of two nuclear
bombs [please: no WWJD jokes].
