But then I make a distinction between these two concepts!
I sure would like some kind of explanation for that. If you mean that churches have a right to be represented in the law, then I will agree with you. But if you mean that religions have a right to force their moralities into the law then I must respectfully disagree! I can't bring myself to trust the morality of any group of people who proclaim their moral basis comes from an invisible being or an ancient collection of fireside stories.
