Iowa: Too much religion in Sioux City politics?

Michael McNeil has this opinion piece in the Sioux City Journal. He beings:

Is there such a thing as too much fun? What about too much good health? Some say there is too much religion in Sioux City politics. Anytime an issue draws passion from both sides and is earnestly debated in the presence of our elected officials, it’s worthwhile. Why should the topic of religion be excluded from lively discussion and debate?
