Theocracy in the US of A????

Saturday's "Forum on Faith" between Obama & McCain moderated by evangelist pastor Rick Warren is an abomination to our democracy. We are not a theocracy, there is NO state religion, in fact there is a separation of church and state.
I wish the presidential candidates would remember the Constitution, not to mention the rest of the citizenry who may not be Evangelical Christians, or even Christians!!
