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.

Actually, Dobson was secretly praying that if Obama becomes President that he isn't declared a terrorist and shipped to Cuba.
Hillary undoubtedly is against public prayer, however, if it offends people. "It's fine if you do that on your time and without me hearing it, but don't cram it down my throat." She and Obama believe they are Christians--I daresay every candidate we have considers himself or herself a Christian. The media likes Mike Huckabee because he makes evangelical Christians look liberal, and helps create a misconception about them in general.
Good for Hillary!
An Honest Christian,
Are you suggesting that neither Obama, Clinton, even Huckabee, are true Christians?
G-o-M & Honest X,
Let you who are without sin cast the first stone. I doubt anyone can truly discern who is - or is not - a "true" Christian. God and/or Christ seems to favor working with and through sinners - and anyone else who needs grace.
It is difficult for anyone to judge whether or not Hillary is a Christian - that is why God says to leave it up to Him, because He already knows anyway.
