Belief in a god of any sort has no more place in judicial proceedings than the tooth fairy.

Until there is an actual separation of church from state, religious belief is and will remain the single most unchallenged impediment to equal justice. It appears acceptance of the supernatural is, as it always has been, used to excuse the inexcusable.

I'm not sure God has anything to do with decisions at the court but "deeply held beliefs" sure do. Must be some kind of code.

My status as a vocal atheist had never concerned me until tRump and his puppet masters assumed control.

He is no more a believer than you or me, but he is the voice of those who you correctly see as holding the strings and using belief as their tool of control. It is impossible for me to accept believers as being more than people who will not accept the reality of death as final. The financial success of megachurches attest to the fear and resultant denial of death. The acceptance of reality is more than most people who are schooled in religious beliefs will accept.
