post 15- religion/ethics/morals in government

the rule that run a country should be based on what the people of the country feel is right. if ethics and morals are thrown out the window then the point of a government is thrown out as well. in order to govern you need terms or rule to govern with. a set of standards are required to have order n a country. thinking about what is ethically and morally right and wrong while making these rules is essential to a well run country. 

however once religion is thrown into the mix, then there seems to be problems. Religion, is a choice that is made by and individual about themselves. it is something that, thankfully, is allowed as a free choice in canada. but since its a free choice there is going to be more that one view of religion in society. therefore making it impossible to choose one and put it into the governmentally system. 

now ethics and morals are also somewhat of a personal choice, but one would would generally consider the act of killing someone a morally wrong decision. Where as a legal same sex marriage will not appeal to everyone under the same government. when it comes to government religion needs to stay out in order to please the whole country and to be ethically and morally fair to everyone who lives in it.
