text: None of those are moral decisions.  The world of power is not concerned with morality and who knows what the ethical constraints are for power structures with no significant fear of prosecution?
  
  Moral is a personal influence for me.    There is good reason to mistrust a combination of political and religious alliance.   
  
  IMO it is religion that suffers most when they combine.   As a follower of Jesus his advice was unequivocal he was not concerned about human institutions.    The church gets full of its earthly power and loses it focus as spiritual guide.
