It's sad that some people do not understand the principle of the separation of church and state.
Unfortunately, US churches which call themselves Christian are no longer concerned with personal salvation, but have become a platform of political campaign.
Jesus seemed to be very carefully apolitical in his answer when the Pharisees asked him if it was legal to pay taxes to their Roman occupiers (this is because it was interpreted as illegal under Jewish religious law, but it was also illegal to withhold taxes under Roman law, a conundrum caused by living under two separate legal systems). Jesus reply of, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, and unto God that which is God's" is a very astute answer that is fully compliant with both legal systems.
