Gary Hart says it well

I have argued for sometime that religious people would eventually regret the intrusion of faith into the electoral process. It absolutely invites rank hipocrasy--ala a Tom Delay wearing his faith on his sleeve while he brags about his power and ruthless ability to get his way.

The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Contributor: When the Personal Shouldn't Be Political: "Declarations of 'faith' are abstractions that permit both voters and candidates to fill in the blanks with their own religious beliefs. There are two dangers here. One is the merging of church and state. The other is rank hypocrisy."
