I believe in God.
I will never understand how some believers think it helps their cause to push theocracy – whether it's American Christian nationalism, Iranian Islamic theocracy, or Jewish ethno-state.
If your idea of God is so weak it needs man-made enforcement, then I hate to break it to you but you don’t worship the All Powerful Creator; you work for an all fragile cult.
Faith that requires force is a farce. Let there be no compulsion in faith. Let us ensure separation of religion and state.
