Perhaps you want religious judges to make up law based on their particular religious beliefs and not the will of the people?

I sense some naivety here. All judges have a particular belief on which their judgment hinges. Liberal or not, they all state their particular beliefs quite customarily. Religion mentioned? Big freaking deal.

Yes they do- and it sad that you think it is ok. Sign of the times I guess. We don't even know what judges are supposed to do anymore do we? We think they are supposed to insert their own beliefs into their decisions which are supposed to be based solely on the written law.

You are arguing the "Critical Legal Studies" position, that all law is politics, that there are no neutral principles, that ultimately there is no law. If you and they are right, our democratic, rule-of-law based society is doomed, and we will soon revert to a state of nature in which the only right is might.
