I am not a Christian - why on Earth should the opinion of Christians have influence in my life or my decisions?<--That is why you, as a non-Christian, get one vote; just like each individual Christian gets one vote. That's why it's a democracy. Would you prefer a secular dictatorship?

There is simply no good reason.<--Well, for the Christian, he/she has the salvation of your eternal soul in mind.

See above for my responses.
