The wall of separation between church and. . .a candidate's platform?

Yep.  This is the topic where I am going to play the part of "con" to the pro-advocate, whomever that may be.  

I assert that no such wall exists, and that a candidate's faith has a direct effect on his or her core values system, which in turn will predictably affect their worldview and their future decisions if elected to a leadership role.  

Any and all participants are welcome to weigh in on the matter, but I will only choose one or two to ride along the thread with. 

Anyone is welcome to begin at anytime to deconstruct my assertion.
