I admit - I haven't paid much attention to the whole Pledge of Allegiance debate few years ago, so it was quite a news for me that apparently the 'In God We Trust' sign that I've noticed on a wall in my kids' elementary school was put in all VA schools after the law was signed by a Democrat (!) Gov. Mark R. Warner in May 2002.

Republicans aren't the only religious people in the country, but the non-religious members of the liberal demokrats like to use that as some sort of insult against Republicans who are religious. They try to pit the First Amendment against itself, using it to criticize it. I have heard it said that in several circles of the far the Left they hate the freedom of religion clause of the First Amendment more than they hate the entire Second Amendment. Just more they have to complain about as their utopia of liberalism Kalifornia slides into the toilet, good job with that model!
Demokrats may vote down the "health care" bill because in some cases it reverses the laws since 1976 that prohibit federal funding of abortion except for the usual three reasons. I'd guess that action has a religious base somewhere. Or like the head of that Planned Parenthood office who saw an ultrasound of an abortion process oppose it for its violence against humanity. Whatever the reason, demokrats can be religious as well even though the media tries to paint Republicans as a party of 100% fundamentalist Christians.

The image that certain media paints, as if all pro-religion laws, bills, etc are driven solely by Republicans.

Republicans have made themselves look foolish by associating themselves with scoundrels like Billy Graham, Ted Haggard, Jerry Falwell and others.
Until they get off their whole god equals morality kick, they will continue to be portrayed as the party for back-assward, bible thumping rednecks.

The problem is Republicans walk around saying how religious and righteous they are and then we find out they are the first be caught in affairs, corrupt money deals, and gay scandals.
Republicans = Hypocrites

The Democrats go around talking about how people should pay more taxes, and how unfair it is that rich people don't pay their fair share. Then it turns out they don't pay their taxes at all.
Democrats = Hypocrites.
