I have a horrible fear of religious leaders having any say in government or in law. as you might have seen in this blog -- my reason is that I do not think they understand the Torah and teach it, but rather use it as a cover for their own profit and pleasure. However one can claim against me that maybe they understand Torah better. I answer that might be so, but that does not help their position since in any case I have the stronger claim of experience --knowing by experience that religious leaders are creeps. However, I do admit to rare exceptions like the roshei yeshiva of Litvak yeshivot who definitely know Torah better than anyone else, and also that life in those great yeshivot is in fact whole some and decent.
