I think religion has more of an effect on politics. My reasoning is as follows:
In God We Trust is the official motto of the United States and the U.S. state of Florida. The motto first appeared on a United States coin in 1864 during strong Christian sentiment emerging during the Civil War, but In God We Trust did not become the official U.S. national motto until after the passage of an Act of Congress in 1956.[1][2] It is codified as federal law in the United States Code at 36 U.S.C. § 302, which provides: "In God we trust" is the national motto".
Proposition 8 in California was defeated, mostly by the LDS and Christian groups, via funding and 'encouraging' their members to vote it down.
For some time, Christianity has been the largest religion in the USA. The founding fathers did not write Christianity or God into the Constitution. Yet now it is permeating much of our government. Separation of church and state? The line blurs more and more.
