Taking away abortion rights is also taking those rights away from women who got raped or are at risk from d death from having the fetus in her. So think outside of just the Bible.

i think the Bible is a good moral basis for how legislature should be structured. even in countries like the US where it is “separated” the basis of their law structure takes heavily from the Bible

We do not need a (heavily edited and culturally biased) book written 2000 years ago to instill morality in people

You say this yet most people fail to live up to a fraction of the morality that the Bible teaches. Even taking away things like abortion and homosexuality which can be debated, most people still don’t even come close to keeping basic rules in the Bible that everyone can agree is beneficial.

Do you think everyone follows the Bible? What if we put any other religious text in place and said “yeah the government should follow Quran”

Actually this is not correct. Our current democracy and most others are based on British bicameral legislatures, which were based on the Roman senate which certain was not Biblical in terms of being based on the word of God.

This is where “give unto Cesar what is Cesar’s” comes from in its philosophical base.

Do you understand that most states when the first amendment was written had religious requirements to serve in government? It certainly wasn’t meant to mean that people can’t express their religious beliefs in govt
