blog post 15- religion in government


15. Does religion, or religious principles/ethics/morals, have any place in government? Should government create laws based on these norms?

There should be no consideration given to religious principals, ethics or morals.  The problem with this is that in countries like Canada, that are composed of multiple religions that cover a broad base of norms.  What is ethical to ones faith may not be appropriate for another.   Norms should be based on the perceptions of society and enforced to all.

  1. I agree completely with this post! It is difficult for the government to cater to every ethnic group in their nation.
