	In a speech delivered at the 2006 “Call to ~~Renewalâ€~~ conference, Senator Obama offered these thoughts on the relationship between politics and religion: "Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal rather than religion-specific values. ... It requires that their proposals be subject to argument and amenable to reason. Now, I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, to take one example, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God's will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all."
