CMV: Politicians, judges, officials etc. should be punished for making decisions based on their faith ie: “this law is anti Christian so I will be voting against it” “I’m here as a Christian, a father, and a politician in that order” (this goes for ALL faiths not just Christianity)

Because religion and faith is not universal, and everyone is supposed to be free to believe what they believe as well as “separation of church and state” I believe it should be punishable to make decisions on law based purely upon your religious beliefs. It’s not fair to vote for or against legislation because of your religion at all, it should be based on human rights and what every human deserves regardless of their beliefs. I’m tired of legislators shooting down gay marriage, or abortion rights or really anything that doesn’t directly effect them because their “god” says it’s not okay. Because what those people who would benefit from these laws passing don’t share those beliefs, it should be a human right and it causes a massive amount of problems and nearly no solutions to make decisions based on antiquated ideas of faith.

I have no idea how you’ll ever do these things:

* define what a religious belief is 

* prove when someone is making a choice based on that belief 

Every single person has a life philosophy which governs our decisions, to ask someone to ignore that and take on … some other philosophy? … doesn’t make sense. 

This is why we are a democracy where your recourse is to vote someone out of office who doesn’t vote in accordance with your life philosophy.
