Possibly true, but I believe the reality is that most of the "churches" which dabble in politics are essentially vehicles for those who operate them. And as Bush has now proved in two elections, these days emotive topics and slogans build audiences much faster and more surely than voices of logic and reason.
If you want to make money and wield power in the US today, there isn't a quicker or more certain way than by building a congregation based on prejudice. Sad, but that is the way it is...
