Playing the "religion card" may help Obama

The New York Times published a story today about Obama supporting religious groups.  Obama is now expressing the need for the White House to work together with religious groups.

Even though one of the major philosophies of the U.S. is that church and state should be separate, what Obama is doing now may play an important role in this upcoming election.

The Republican Party is known for having the support of christian voters.  But it seems that Obama is now trying to reach out to all types of religious groups.  and most importantly-he wants to give money.  

If McCain doesn't follow in his lead in supporting other religious groups (and not just Christians), then he might have to fight a tougher battle for this election.
