Should a government official be permitted to ignore and therefore not comply with the law (whether state or federal) if it conflicts with their religious beliefs? (explain please)

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to sound bad, like I'm saying that someone is above the law due to religious beliefs, but the first amendment gives you the full right to freedom of religion. Also, America was built on the idea of separating government and religion, therefore, even if someone is senate, if there religion makes them do something that is considered "illegal", then that thing should not be illegal.

Also, this is completely an opinion.
