And this is bad because?
Christianity, however I didn't really intend for this thread to be a debate about which religion is correct, but about the proper relationship between the correct religion and the government.
It is the duty of each person to support the true religion. This duty does not cease merely because a person holds public office, therefore it is the duty of those who hold public office to support the true religion in their official capacity as legislators.
I don't agree with the notion of a divinely revealed positive civil law, however I do agree with the principle that civil law should conform to religion.
The definition of true religion is critical to the OP and is thus most relevant.
I'm a Zen Buddhist. I've been upfront about that. I prefer Vietnamese Zen, I'm partial to Korean and in the interest of full disclosure I am in formal study of Tibetan Buddhism. What specifically is your religious pedigree? What brand of Christian are you?
