Well, he's religious. He is steeped in "religiousness." He believes many many things that science can't confirm.
So according to all the posts on the first two pages of this thread, he must not be trusted anywhere near democracy.
Personally, I think he's brilliant.
Nothing in the posts on the first two pages claimed relgious people shouldn't be allowed to vote. That's your personal takeaway; but I don't think it follows that if religions aren't democratic, relgious people shouldn't be allowed to participate in democracy. The US military isn't democratic, and leans about 72% to the right; but I absolutely want servicepeople to be able to vote.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
