Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

The latter activity to pray in secret to ask "thy Father" is not the same as a minister standing in the pulpit and telling people what political party to join. Don't you see the difference?

Here is a copy/paste from Jeff's post demonstrating reason and wisdom:

Are the Ten Commandments the basis for the first Ten Amendments to the US Constitution?

I hear this comment often, “The Ten Commandments are the structure of our Bill of Rights."

Is that right? Lets take a look at the first Ten Amendments.

I. Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and
Petition – Freedom of Religion is actually the opposite of what the Ten
Commandments requires. The other aspects of the First Amendment have nothing to do with the Commandments.

2. Right to keep and bear arms – Has nothing to do with the Commandments

3. Conditions for quarters of soldiers – Nothing to do with the Commandments

4. Right of search and seizure regulated – Nothing to do with the Commandments

5. Provisions concerning prosecution – Nothing to do with the Commandments

6. Right to a speedy trial, witnesses, etc. – A slight connection with bearing false witness, otherwise, nothing to do with the Commandments.

7. Right to a trial by jury – Nothing to do with the Commandments

8. Excessive bail, cruel punishment – Nothing to do with the Commandments

9. Rule of construction of Constitution – Absolutely nothing to do with the Commandments

10. Rights of the States under Constitution – Nothing to do with the Commandments.

Other than the coincidence that there were initially Ten Amendments and there are Ten Commandments, there is only one slight resemblance between the two documents, which has to do with bearing false witness. The Freedom of Religion is actually the exact opposite of what the Commandments require. Are the Ten Commandments’ the structure of our Constitution? Complete nonsense.

My point is, if we abide by the wisdom of our Founders and the wisdom found in the reasonable execution of the principles of law, we can come to some peaceful agreements with any people. As long as any of us rely on what our "God says" to do, tell me how will we come to any reasonable settlement? Doesn't you God place any value on the survival of your civilization?
