There is no point at which religious beliefs should preclude or determine decisions as a judge. No point.
If I had my way, I’d only vote for declared agnostics, as that’s the only sane option. All elected officials and appointed officials should be able to separate their beliefs from their job. If they can’t, they’re unqualified. In my opinion.
Yeah, I k is this means like 98% of the nation’s politicians would be “unqualified,” but so be it. Also, duh.
