#RegressiveLeft: @MikePenceVP divisive because he’s an evangelical Christian who believes in creationism. Ok, cool. So why kid gloves for that other evangelical US politician who also takes her religious beliefs literally: Muslim conservative @IlhanMN? #BigotryOfLowExpectations

I don’t know but do their religious beliefs affect their policy choices equally?

Exactly. You don’t know. We don’t assume that evangelical Christians won’t let their religion inform their politics, so why would we assume it for conservative Muslim politicians?

Their choices of policies and reasons why should give an educated guess. If evangelical Christian say thinks a soul is in a foetus from day 1 then you chalk it up as religious influence. If Muslim says blasphemy should be outlawed then the same applies.

Absolutely. I think we need to be just as vigilant w watching for those signs w all religious politicians. If we’re trying to progress society, then we need to watch for insidious attempts to enact ancient values.
