Religion should always be completely separated from politics for that reason; We can't be certain about anything and everyone have different views.

Which is why I agree that this guy should not be a politician in the first place.

Short of barring religious people from public life, I don't see how you can really do that. The political views of the religious will always be influenced by their religious beliefs, whether it's in terms of abortions or welfare policy or whatever.

I don't mind politicians expressing their views that are based on religion. But if they say things like: "God is messing with our economy because of us letting gays getting married", then you know things have gone too far.

The guy in the article went too far, in my opinion.
