You can watch the show online.. its an interesting look at Bush's faith and its influence in his life and politics.

The freaky and damning part of that show is when they seek to find out where the Faith-based initiative money was actually going. Most of it is unaccounted for (of course) but what they could track was going entirely to Christian groups despite Jewish and Muslim charities having had applied. Also how do churches keep their tax-exempt status when they are passing out cards during service (this is shown) telling people who to vote for? Frontline shows how Bush was elected on the Evangelical vote, I can't wait to be "left behind" by these people so America can get back to dealing with reality.

I do believe those cards give the view points of various candidates on moral issues.
