Why is religion allowed to be such a heavy influence in a free and democratic nation?

I am perplexed. Why, in this day and time, would americans allow religious thoughts and convictions to enter in to politics and the governing of this culterally diverse nation? Isn't it true our founding fathers came to this country in order to escape religious persecution and design a bill of rights allowing every citizen the right to decide for themselves what "higher power" if any, they would like to support? It was not their only reason, of course, but certainly high on their list.
