I think it's wrong to have religion as a factor in the important decisions of our country. Yes religion can be used as a moral code, but it also has a bad side.
For example, abortion. People who have a religion are against this because it's Gods work. But not everyone in American believe in God or have a religion. So why should those who do not abide by a religious lifestyle have to abide by religious laws and rules? We have representation through Congress, then why don't they represent our views on same sex marriage or abortion? -
I strongly support secularity. I don't want to ban religion, contrary to popular belief, but I'd like to see it become obsolete.

The only semi-good thing I find out of religion is a moral code, that's about it, and you don't even need religion for that.

Real morality is something inside all of us. Religion just leads us away from that morality and appeals to the irrational, fearful side of human nature. Definitely not something you wanna mix with politics.
