Is there a place for religion in public life or in the political arena?

6. Freedom of choice vs. restrictive rules

I believe that the laws should be set up to allow people the freedom to persue their own happiness in life.
What I have seen, when the religious right tries to inject religious beliefs into the making of a law is that what they usually are asking is to limit the freedom of others to choose.
They have asked for contraception to be limited when there are others who would choose to use contraception and birth control.
I think that the chioce should be available to everyone and the people who choose not to use the service have the right not to use the service.

If we allow religious beliefs to limit people's chioce then I think it has gone too far.

If Sanatorium wants to tell people that he has religious odeals that means that he will appeal to the religious minded. BUT, when he says that if he is elected president that he will use his power to make laws that limit the choices of the American people then I say it would be an abuse of power.

I always say - If you want to make more restrictive laws - Go back to Europe!
