I would have to say, though, that scientific endeavors such as stem cell research ( Bush vetoed bill on this) and global warming are largely dwarfed by certain religious beliefs and influence that the church has on issues. A good question then would be what effects the leader's "personal inspiration" has on his scientific enthusiasm and support.
A large scale discussion of the politics of religion would be messy, but I think independent considerations of religious beliefs are fair game.
