Good article, thank you.  Of course they want to allay our fears of the push for theocracy.  But I don't think they're fooling anyone.  Fundamentalists and tea partiers score low on opinion polls.  I hope an uber religious candidate gets the Republican nomination.  That will mobilize Democrats to get out and vote.  One reason the tea partiers made such a splash last time is because it wasn't a Presidential election and there was a lower voter turnout.  They've been around long enough now to have revealed their religious face, and Americans are turning away.
