Religious leaders should, of course, be allowed to run for president (or whatever)...as citizens.


However, they should not be able to run as religious leaders, nor should they rule as them.



FoV, separation of church and state means exactly what it sounds like, religion should have no impact on what a government does.

Marking Christmas as a special holiday does violate that, which is why governments do not, in fact, call the holiday Christmas.
