religion and state
It is wise that people not be swayed by what a leader says - even if what he says seems to match one's religious beliefs. It is wiser to evaluate instead what a leader actually does and its benefits or peril to all. Consider the following quotes and the sources given:
The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.
