Not my country, not my law. Isn't it the duty of government to ensure fair treatment for all its citizens so, regardless of creed, colour or belief, people in similar situations should pay similar taxes, get similar benefits and have similar responsibilities. Religions have their own rules, one chooses to join a religion and live according to it's rules. We see what happens when Religions run countries (Iran). By the way, the Anglican/Episcopalian church is not a Protestant church it is a Catholic (as opposed to Roman Catholic) one, check out the Nicene (Nicean) Creed!
