... and religion should not be in the law business.
Law is based on truth, or the interpretation thereof. Religion defines truth, or the definition thereof. It is hard to seperate the two. If truth is based merely on interpretation of human precedent, truth becomes defined based on the limitations of human fallibility (plus really good lawyers)
​
If truth is based on religion, it becomes anchored to absolute (or nearly so) values.
