A citizen who is an elected official is not free to use the power of the state in ways that over-specify the religious sentiments of the people. No group of people can fairly express the religious views of any one person. This is not a matter to be settled by democratic vote, nor can an official just because he is also a citizen, go beyond his authority in the capacity of his office. This is about limiting government power, not empowering citizens who happen to hold office.
