Much has been said regarding the religious beliefs of Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett as to whether she should be confirmed because she's extreme far-right politically. I have no problem with anyone with deep religious faith, no matter what that faith is. I may be naive, but I just think that a person that sits on the Supreme Court and may remain there for 40 years ruling on laws that affect 328 million people, should have a bipartisan, centrist ideology, one that is more in alignment with the majority, not a small minority.
To put it in perspective, the only things that Amy Coney Barrett and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have in common is that their names have three words, that's it. Otherwise their doctrines are diametrically opposed. Amy Coney Barret, ('ACB') has been a lifelong member of a far-right religious group called 'People of Praise'. If I could compare this particular group to any other, I would compare it to the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints or other Evangelical Protestant groups.
