You can go to a temple. I don't see why you choose to not hold you head high. Either way, no one really cares. Mixing religion and government is where the problem is. Obama is deeply religious, he gets no rap for it. Bush got a bad rap because he used the power of government to push his religious agenda. The story with the BJP in India is similar.
