About God-o-Meter
This blog is no longer updated and is closed for comments. We welcome your comments about politics in our Politics forums.
The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!God-o-Meter blogger Dan Gilgoff is Beliefnet's Politics Editor. A former political correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, he is author of The Jesus Machine: How James Dobson, Focus on the Family, and Evangelical America are Winning the Culture War.

If Mitt Romney, as a governor, would have blurred the lines of church and state like Huckabee does and has in the past, he would be crucified by the religious right. This is another example of the double standard found in our country.
I saw Drudge's headline and wondered how you were going to give him anything beyond a 10. You are going to have to come up with a whole new graphic for him :-)
He probably feels the same way today as he did then. I thought it was funny when he said that he was "getting inside the dragon's belly," but a more apt phrase would have been the belly of the beast (Rev. 13) :-)
I think it would be better if America reclaimed America for Americans. Not all americans are Christian, but all Americans are 'promised' equality before the law. This will not happen in a Huckabee theocracy.
UGHH!!! to the 10th degree.
The reason the Government is in the business of Social Justice is because the churches failed to hold onto the banner during the Great
depression and never claimed it back. It is long overdo for the churches to take back the ministry of Service to our fellow man.
PAUL--God-o-Meter thinks it all well and good for churches to take back the nation for Christ but the question is whether a candidate for secular office ought to be urging the same strategy. Mitt Romney has made a cliche out the "I'm not campaigning for pastor-in-chief" defense, but that doesn't mean he doesn't make a very good point.
"God-o-Meter thinks it all well and good for churches to take back the nation for Christ"
This presumes it was "Christ's" to begin with. Many in America would disagree. Or aren't there any Jewish Americans? Or Muslim Americans? Or Hindu Americans? Or Buddhist Americans? Or Jainist Americans? Or atheist Americans?
so much for the old "freedomof religion" concept. God-o-meter seems "Christianist" in its views. How sad.
...a slightly more secular office.
Yeah, just 'slightly'.
i would like to know if god and the devil were brothers. and were will you find it.in the bible
