If Romney is reinforcing his faith to the members of the RNC, then that tells me more about the RNC and its inability to dismiss Christian segregation as a special class within the party. It tells me nothing about Romney. The American people expect their leaders to be good and ethical men/women.
This expression of religion at a political party event only sells the idea there very little space in the "Separation of Church and State."
I thought the stage looked like a church alter. I was right and I had no idea of the agenda of the RNC. The majority of the party is bigoted and this is another expression of same.

If anything will turn the Political Left Wing of the USA away from Romney it will be "Wall Street" and not the history of his religion or his personal dedication to it.

Ralph Reed: ‘There’s bigotry against Mormons. It’s on left.’ (click here)
TAMPA — Ralph Reed, who has most definitely re-established himself as part of the GOP elite, dropped by earlier this week to talk about – among other things – religion and Mitt Romney.
The Republican presidential nominee will tonight take his Mormon faith front and center. Tonight’s invocation will be given by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
A longtime friend, who shared leadership roles in the Mormon church with Romney, will testify on his behalf.
Both Reed and I were struck by the fact that, for the first time in U.S. history, the presidential ticket of a major party will lack a Protestant. But Reed, who now heads up the Faith and Freedom Coalition, went deeper:...
Very cute, Ralph Reed is going to test the political left by their loyalty to Romney's Religion. If Democrats don't vote for Romney they are religious bigots.
There is always an angle.
Romney Speaks of Mormon Faith to Try to Dispel Prejudice (click title to entry - thank you)
By Julie Hirschfeld Davis on August 30, 2012
In the closing stretch of a campaign in which he has seldom uttered the word “Mormon,” Mitt opening up about his faith as he strives to present a more textured self-portrait to undecided voters.
And Republican leaders -- some of whom have worried that anti-Mormon views prevalent among evangelical Christians who form a sizable chunk of the party base would damage Romney’s chances of victory -- are working to dispel the stigma....
I find it more interesting this 'religion thing' is happening at the convention and not within the campaign. I think that speaks eons as to whom is prejudice and whom is not. Everyone knows what the religious right wing says Mormonism. I learned first hand from Evangelical Christians that Mormanism is a cult. It was the first time I ever heard Mormonism called a cult. So, now it is the Political Left Wing of the USA that are religious bigots. That is such a joke. Those on the very left of the political spectrum are atheists. Give me a break!
Ever since "W" was in office this mess has gone on.
They fought in the USA war with Mexico.
