    Constitution permits US government officials to have religious freedom but forbids them to make laws or policy based on religion. Why is this so hard for so many in politics to get? https://nyti.ms/2HN3XnO

        Most of them haven’t actually read the Constitution or understand what it really means. A skeptical view but I’m starting to believe it’s true.

        And the other alternative, they do understand it but still try to use an incorrect interpretation to advance their own agendas and just don’t care they’re wrong.

        If a state passed a law banning the death penalty because God thinks every life is precious liberals would applaud it.

        No. I would not. If, however, a state passed such a law because our nation is based on non-religious principles protecting life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I'd be pleased. Religious viewpoints are not the only ones opposing murder.

        And that is when I wrote "Easterbrook doesn't understand the Establishment Clause" in my notebook.

        Here are the words: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." And laws based on religion would be precluded. The key phrase is "based on."

        There are purely philosophical arguments against abortion, and the First Amendment doesn't mean people have to purge their minds of their beliefs in a voting booth. The government can't establish or prohibit religion. People's views can be informed by religion.

        And whether acknowledged or not, the religious beliefs of a minority are driving abortion policy and law.
