re: Is it unconstitutional to be anti-capital punishment due to religion?

I believe this thought process is growing among the populous. It is now not a good thing to let your personal doctrines you subscribe to enter into your decision making as far as governing and law. If you hold religious beliefs and let them influence your choices in voting on laws being proposed, you are wrong and it is Unconstitutional to do so.

At some level, religion has always been considered in politics and voting for government positions as President and Congress. Even on local levels, I am sure it has been prevalent.

Indeed. And I would venture as to say a large majority of our laws are based on some concept of morality that, at some point in time, was rooted in religious doctrine.

I believe the problem stems from continuing government expansion and entanglement in our lives. Every nook and cranny that the government seeps into means religious beliefs must be smashed out in those areas.

Just look at the Hobby Lobby case. It was a win for religious freedom, but it had to be fought tooth and nail to be won.
