But why? Do you think that a religious person is incapable of acting in a way that perhaps they find somewhat disagreeable if that is what their elected constituents want?

I have immense respect for the politicians in Canada who, when there was the big push here to legalise gay marriage (which we did) came forward and explicitly stated "I personally think it is abhorant and inappropriate, but as my constituents support it, I will support it with my vote" and just as much respect for the couple who seriously considered resigning their position because they were against it, in a riding where the people were in support of it.

There's a very big difference between "Religion and State" and "Church and State"
