Any time someone wants to argue for the involvement of church in matters of state, I say "Which church"?

Do you give every faith, religion, cult and church some direct representation in government? Seats in the house? Based on what? Number of worshippers? Some incredibly misguided idea that there is actually one -right- church to whom the state should listen?

Or should church groups have to be like every other lobby group that exists, and simply have the same rights as any citizen to petition the government to listen to the desires of the constituants empowering that government?
