Fair enough. I just take it in context of it being othering. Observant religious people exist in numbers in NB, and the wholesale I’m not voting for you because you’re one of them does raise one’s eyebrows.
I would accept disagreement on policy points. Let’s pretend Faytene wanted charter schools, and campaigned accordingly. It might be motivated by a prosecution complex due to religion, but I’d accept a hard no on the policy, motivated by costs, etc…. But not the religion.
