If a sitting government official uses her/his influence to try to shape the course of a religion -- or shape the course of the government because of his/her religious beliefs, that's another matter.

Agreed. The church/state issue, in my opinion, has more to do with things like prayer in public schools and issues of that sort.
As a non-Christian, I wish politicians would keep their religious views quiet. You don't have to be Christian to be President -- religious views have nothing to do with one's ability to govern the country, and although Christians might be the majority in this country, it's the President's job to work for ALL Americans.
