Separation of church and state.

Regarding, Jackson and Sharpton; it's true that they praised their political affiliations in their services but did they threaten or tell people to leave their services and/or churces if they didn't support a certain candidate? There's a difference there. The pastor of the church has every right to voice whatever opinion about whichever candidate he supported. When members have their memberships threatened or revoked a serious problem is at hand.

It's almost like my fraternity. Most of my brothers supported a certain candidate and a certain political party while I chose to support another. I was one of the few that went the other route and if the fraternity threatened to make me conform, well there would be a serious problem there.
