Seperation of Church and State

I am not aware of the incidence or press release . The context helps giving an opinion . Still as a mylotian it is my responsibility to respond to a post from a new user beginning with a serious discussion . I personally is a nonbeliever . Still I don't look at the issue from that stand point , because , millions of people are behind God's belief . From that stand point I would say - the nature of Government's action wil depend on the type of Governance prevailing in respective country . In a secular country like India , where I live in , the state does not have to interefere in religious acts . If at all it chooses to do , it has to act equally with all religions . And that results in too much wastage of resources . Hence , in such countries Governement should desist from such acts . In other countries which have their State religion - be it Christianity or Islamism or Jew or Hinduism - may take some minimum action to uphold the God's Law .

In a round about way religion can influence our laws. Many voter's morals are based on their religion and they vote according to these concepts. Many of the concepts in the constitution are based on biblical morality. So no matter what, many of those influences are undeniable. but at the point that this politician's wife says that government should directly be following God's law, there is a violation of the separation clause. Laws in this country are independent of any religion. They apply to anyone, from the strongest atheist to the surest christian. We uphold the laws of our nation, the ones that our representatives formed, not the laws of any particular religion.
