Separation of church and state.

I am an avid supporter in the belief that church and state should not be connected in any way, shape, or form. It is unconstitutional to express your views as a Christian or any other religion in politics. Many politicians get their votes from stating that the are a devout (insert religion). You can not base how you run the government from a religious point of view. Not everyone is the same religion, nor will they ever be. For example the outlook on Homosexual marriages. Everyone who is against it is looking from a religious point of view. The statement of "Well in the Bible . . ." is prominent in this topic. Nowhere in the constantution declares that they cannot have the same legal rights as Hetero sexual couples. I strongly belive in separation of church and state. That doesn't mean I am an atheist, it concludes that I am open minded and believe in everyone's right to choose on how their life should be. I think that this world would be a far better place if we were all open minded.
