Great question. The only way for a consensus driven society to flourish, without tyranny/manipulation from the few, especially in the information age, is for it to be driven by Truth as the highest ideal. Truth with a capital T, not "my truth and your truth", not tradition, beliefs, or myths etc. In my view, sure, bring your religion along WITH the agreement, that when your religious beliefs might bump up against Truth, that you will also have the requisite humility to adjust course publicly as a leader. That you'll engage in an open dialogue on how and why your beliefs are valid to the exclusion of others, preferably with others that disagree with you. It's the only way to avoid bloodbaths. Do I think a plurality of humans are capable of this? At the moment, no.
