09 June 200410:50 am: A story by Deb McCown in The Washington Times illustrates a potential rift in the alleged Republican religion lock. What matters more to conservatives -- freedom of faith, or small government? The issue at hand is a Montana church under fire from liberal groups for violating the state's election laws by devoting a service to politics and petitions (against gay marriage). Religious conservatives say the church is entitled to its activism by the first amendment. But how long will it be before conservative libertarians bristle over government subsidies -- in the form of tax exemptions -- for explicitly partisan, politically active churches?
