So who is dividing who?

Proof had this posted over on Sayanythingblog and I would like to take this a little further. Listen to what Barack Obama has to say.

“Somewhere along the way faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart… Faith got hijacked partly because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us.”

I would like to know how he can say this stuff with a straight face? Who is trying to divide who? Example number one(1) or how about Example number two (2). If anything the US government needs to start taking some tax exempt status away from these churches that spew political messages from the pulpit. Church should be a place of worship not political rallies and speeches.
