If you disagree with this than IMO you are ok with opening a door to second class treatment of those who arent homogeneous with the religious ideals held by those in power. Throughout history this has been an ingredient for failure.
I have faith that our greatest achievements by our elected leaders are done when religion isn't leaned upon in the decision making apparatus.

I think you probably know much less about our elected leaders than you think. Frankly, you're coming off as the type of person who never would have voted for Kennedy in 1960 because you didn't want the Pope running the country.
