Laugh. Its always been a tool to impress the people, minus us. Shake your head and laugh.

By pointing the cynical and false use of religion to gain political advantage on one hand, and by making the making the person stay on topic with relevant fact-based arguments.

I think it is worth pointing out that those who wish to legislate their religious beliefs will eventually impinge on the rights of anyone who believes differently than they do, whether they are religious or not.

It is also worth pointing out all the writings of the founding fathers that definitively said (in the U.S.) that this is not a "christian" country, and that our government is secular.

Also remind them that the path to hell is paved with good intentions, so even if they mean well they are very likely inadvertently doing harm.

Call them out. Ask if they follow the Teachings of Jesus and then use Luke 6:30 on them. If you are unsure of what to say, I suggest reading Delos McKown's speech. [infidels.org]
