There is a profound, but perhaps to some people too superficially subtle, difference between 1) whether a religious person can participate in democracy, and 2) whether participation of large number of persons of a high religiosity tends to strengthen democracy in the long run. the answer to 1 is a qualified yes, and to 2 a rather less reserved no.
one might be blunt as ask can poison be ingested without apparent harmful effect, the answer is yes. but does that then mean poison is a good ands noble thing because people who seems impressive greedily partook of it with seeming pleasure, and one should therefore not mind the advocacy of eating poison?
