>I'm still baffled at religious people not just being elected, but somehow being seen as more fit for election. How can anyone know when will they be loyal to their post, and when to their religion? I wouldn't trust my vote to such a person.

Unfortunately we don't have a choice. They all pander in more or less degrees to the religious vote, the Constitution be damned.
At least Turkey does have a choice. Hats off to them.
