We do not want to live in a theocracy. We should maintain that barrier and government has no business telling someone what they ought to believe or how they should conduct their private lives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the Shiites want a theocracy.
Government needs to stay out of the religion business altogether.
Our government should be entirely and purely secular. The religious views of a candidate should be kept entirely out of sight.
Religion has to stay in the heart, not in politics. It is private.
The Establishment Clause prohibits government from making adherence to a religion relevant in any way to a person's standing in the political community.
When you claim to have the truth, as opposed to the truth as you perceive it, then you move us toward a theocratic view of government.
To restore the American experiment in democratic self-government, religious believers need to redouble their civic efforts. For without our active participation in politics, the government will continue to trample on our rights. The Constitution does not prevent people of faith from being active in politics.
The kingdom of God is a theocracy. And as it is the only form of government which will redeem and save mankind, it is necessary that every soul should be rightly and thoroughly instructed in regard to its nature and general characteristics.
I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.
The government must pursue a course of complete neutrality toward religion.
