Wrong takeaway; electorate first. The entire premise of a representative democracy is that you vote for someone to care for your interests. The interests are - by definition - the democracy first, and all other considerations second. But the religious don't even put the state above their god... so they are already compromised before assuming the role. Hence my worry about them serving in an elected role. So we're back to 'murica first!'?
