No, our country was founded on keeping the religious and public sphere totally separated. If you read the writings of the Founders, none of them thought having religion mixed with politics was a good idea. Even a little. Some, like Jefferson, were very openly hostile to the idea.

These are not my ideas. Or even modern ones. They go back to the founding of the country.

Now you do have it right in that the separation was to protect both. But what you are advocating, and have advocated, is allowing religion to over-rule the secular whenever an individual wants to. And that is not how a democracy can function.
