Is it correct to say that religion influence are: christianity, judaism, islam, hinduism, buddhism, Jainism, Confucianism, taoism, shinto, sikhism. Animal worship, devil worshop,fire worship, nature worship, sun worship, taboo, voodoo, witchcraft, mormons, druces, gnostic, animism, ancestor worship... isn't that just about an inclusive list of everyone? How do you tell when a person is influenced by religion and who is not?
I'd say people who in public office who make decisions solely on their religious beliefs such as, gay marriage should be illegal because the bible says so, does violate separation of church and state since laws should require, rational decisions along with it or, you're just forcing your religion upon others if, you have other legit reasons for wanting a law passed then, it does not. I hope this helped.
