Hilary Clinton Addresses the Role of Religion in Politics

Cambpell Brown asks Hilary Clinton about the role of religion in American politics. She gives a typical answer, lauding American pluralism and toleration. She is rather ambiguous on the real place of religion in the political sphere. It is to be both private and internal, yet has a place in the public square. We know this. But a more nuanced discussion of how this dynamic works might be helpful to voters.

I keep getting the feeling that Clinton just doesn't get it. She knows how to toe the line but doesn't really understand how to "preach" to religious voters.
