I truly believe that the US Government should have no input into religious worship. [View all]
By the same token, I believe that religious organizations should have no input into government.
I want people to be able to worship as they choose to worship. By the same token, I do not want people to foist their religious beliefs on me. I do not want religion to play any role whatever in the making of laws, in the elections of leaders, nor in controlling anything about the lives of citizens of this country.
Religion and government should have a giant, impassible wall built between them. Let's build that wall, not a wall to prevent people from coming to this country. People should be able to vote for whomever they please, but organized religion should play no part in promoting, funding or endorsing candidates, whatsoever.
Our nation works best with a secular government in place in all jurisdictions. It works worst when religious groups are involved in any way with government. Religious freedom and religious meddling in government are completely incompatible.
No religion is universal, so the doctrines, dogma and rules of any religion will always conflict with those not of that religion. We are a nation that has citizens of all religions and of no religion at all. We should separate the two things forever. No religious group should ever dictate anything to anyone who is not an adherent to that religion.
It is so simple.
