In a well-functioning democracy, the state constitution is considered more important than God's holy book, whichever holy book that may be, and God matters only in your private life.

About This Quote

There are many who believe that if the government is built on the laws of God, it will work by the same laws. For example, if one kills another, then they will be killed. The law of Moses says that the death penalty is to be carried out on those who murder, or try to murder, their neighbor. Also, it says that the law should never be broken. This would be a good place to say that there are people who believe that if God's laws are obeyed, no other law could ever be broken.
