Being religious does not disqualify you from participating in politics. It is called Free Speech.

Are we to say that Atheists can politic, but Christians and Jews can not?

Jesse Jackson is a Religious Leader, Martin Luther King Jr. was a Religious Leader. The anti-slavery activists of the 19th century were led by Religious Leaders.

Objection to the free speech of religious leaders says more about the recipient of the speech than about the speaker. Free speech belongs to everyone.

Sadly, in this country, one of the few groups it is socially acceptable to discriminate against are people of religious beliefs.
