Politics
Regarding political matters and elections, I've always been about assessing individuals and the associated facts and considerations.  I view myself as an independent voter.

Religion
Assuredly, I am an active United Methodist.  I value the cohesive approach that co-founder John Wesley initiated with Methodism in the 1700s.  Stemming from my Native American ancestry, I also have a love of nature that weaves itself into my spiritual beliefs and views of the cosmos.  I have, however, studied other religions and had years of personal experience with them -- resulting in a well-rounded base of knowledge about religions.
