You expect that a Christian would be able to ignore the morals taught by Christ that he should obey and use another standard by which to measure. What standard might that be ? Would a Christian still be a Christian if he did not measure his descions by Christ's teaching?
If one is a Christian how does he not "legislate without injecting his religion". ?
All US citizens, officials & legislators are bound by oath to support the US Constitution, our supreme law. -- One of which says legislators shall make no laws respecting religious establishments.
- Therefore a Christian would legislate according to our Constitution, -- without injecting his religion into laws. -- Just as many do.
