Nothing wrong with people of faith.

There is something wrong with people who want faith enforced by law.

The end result is Iran or Taliban Afghanistan.

You think it would be better because Christianity is better than Islam?

I am the proud owner of a bridge in NY. it is a lovely bridge and I’d hate to part with it for any reason but I’m a little short of cash. Make me an offer. No reasonable offer refused.

The reason theocracies don’t work is that certain rules are beyond reason. Thus in places they get farther and farther divorced from reality until smash. If it is an important place (like running the banks) such systems fail.

The advantage of allowing people to vote is that changes may be made to bring the system in closer contact with reality.

I might add that the #1 Christian was not to keen on enforcing religion with the power of the state. Especially when it came to sex crimes.
