Mogg is anti-women's rights and has homophobic views that he tries to justify his political agendas by using his religion. Religion has no place in politics.

The difference between a politician having an agenda based on religion with the power and means to see it through is completely different to an average person of any religion having religious beliefs. It really should be completely obvious and shouldn't have to be explained.

Just because he is anti-abortion doesn't mean he either could or would try to enshrine such views in our laws, not in 2017. Same with homophobia. He is an intelligent man and would know better than to try. He would have to keep the two completely separate.

Seems like a lot of hysterical assumptions are being made here. Has he actually said if he were PM he would stop all abortions or stop gay marriage. This is the West no matter who is in charge. We are not under Sharia law.
