I Am Full Of Controversial Thoughts

I believe in the separation of church and state. If your religious beliefs impinge on the rights of other humans, I do not want that anywhere near the laws of my country. If you would like to believe in inequality then do it in private.

The Separation means that there is no National Religon such as the Church of England put in by Henry VIII. The representatives we vote in government are to use their Ethics/conscience to make laws. This can and will include their background with the Church.

Separation of church and states , makes sure there isn’t bias on the basis of religion when laws aren’t made . @Pfuzylogic

@AfroDOS The position I am sharing was expanded on by Barbara Jordan in the Taft series of lectures in the early 90s. Elected officials are expected to make decisions from their background whatever it might be.
