Why should any non-adherent care what the religion accepts or doesn't?

Any? Try being a Christian in Iran or an atheist in Malaysia. Your fortune
certainly - and maybe your life - is subject to forfeit.

And that affects us in how we vote exactly how?



Under Catholic doctrine, a civil divorce is not a divorce in the
eyes of the Vatican. Under Jewish law, a woman cannot divorce her
husband.

Screw Catholicism. Screw Judaism. Screw any organized religion who
thinks that anyone unaffiliated with them should do as they say. In
this country especially, screw any churches who meddle in politics in
any way. Don't just take away their tax exemption. Punish them.

Most countries have a state-sanctioned religion. You risk a very parochial and
myopic view to suggest they're wrong.

And you are ready to do so here, it seems.



And this affects this nation's election how, exactly?

Very many - VERY MANY - people in this election are basing their vote on what
they believe the rest of the world will think of us. I personally think that's
misguided, but it's there nevertheless.

It's one important issue among many. We have to work with the world, unless we
want them working against us.
