Because, in my opinion, it is important to put your views up front, so that all will know where you stand and as a guard against POV...

Politics
I am a registered Republican, although I strongly lean libertarian. To me, the government which governs least governs best, and while the Republican party does have some tendancy to meddle in people's lives, the Democratic party tends to do so more. And the Democrats tend to enjoy getting in my wallet more. I am opposed to both the death penalty and abortion(although I find it easier to defend an unborn baby than a mass murderer). I think the war on drugs is a waste... at least for consenting adults. As for foreign policy, I tend to be a bit hawkish, although I have problems with the way the US has been conducting the war in Iraq as a part of the war against terrorism.

Religion
I am a Christian although I have been skeptical of organized religion for many years. I do believe there is some sort of barrier between church and state, although I don't believe there needs to be some sort of sterile secular state like there is in France. I am sort of amused when religious conservatives get accused of an agenda when religious liberals get a free pass to talk about "social justice", etc.
