CMV: Overt religious faith should disqualify a person from the Judiciary system in a society that claims to separate Church and State.

I'm not suggesting that all judges need to be avowed atheists or agnostics, but merely suggesting that a clear fervent belief for following the scriptures is at odds with impartially fulfilling one's duties to the bench.

The laws of God and Man do not always see eye-to-eye, so a judge must not be too inclined towards fervent religious belief lest it impact their ability to separate personal beliefs from state-mandated laws.

While personal views certainly play a role in the nuance of judging cases on an individual basis, when those views are colored by the belief of God-given edicts and an afterlife in which people are punished accordingly for missteps, the desire to act in favor of those far more enduring 'laws' almost certainly impacts decisions (at least subconsciously) regarding the laws of the State.

In order to assure that State laws are upheld as reliably as possible, people who serve in the government as Judges should not be obviously beholden to a secondary code of laws that may come in conflict with the ones they are sworn to protect lest they be tempted to 'litigate from the bench'.

At bare minimum, separation of Church and State requires that there be no religious tests for any government position (including Judges).  Atheists, religious moderates, and religious extremists cannot be treated any differently when it comes to eligibility for any government position.  If you ban highly religious people from the judiciary you are inherently giving up separation of Church and State.
