So you’ll only vote for a person to a secular political office if they hold what you believe to be proper religious values?
There’s many who feel that way.
It’s not uncommon.
It doesn’t mean I agree, and it is not in my mind what defines conservative public policy.
There is no religious litmus test for me. It’s all about policy. Part of that policy should be keeping the government out of my church. But that gets harder and harder when there are churches, on all sides, that won’t stay out of government.
Policy comes from perspective (World view). Perspective comes epistemology. Epistemology comes from religion.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
If you make your voting decision merely based on what a politician says about issues, you have no rational basis for trusting that he won't change his mind, is not obfuscating or is not baldly lying to you.
If you know a candidate is motivated by his religion, there is much better reason to anticipate what his decisions will be and at least you have a basis for persuasion if he goes off course.
Please consider making your choice at a deeper level than policy.
