15. Does religion, or religious principles/ethics/morals, have any place in government? Should government create laws based on these norms?

I believe that ethnic groups do no have any place in government, for example, Aboriginals in Canada. They have two parties that represent their ethnic group in Canadian government, but do not have a say in any government decisions. Government creates laws that will benefit the majority of its citizens. Canada is a multi- cultural nation with many different ethnic groups and religions.  It is difficult for a nation to create laws that will satisfy every citizen and or ethnic group. I do believe that the government should create general laws that can cater to religion and ethnic groups so that their needs are being met.
