I by no means claim that government should not be making moral decisions. That is pretty much all government does. But as much as possible those moral decisions don't belong in the executive branch of government.
I never said everyone does it- but for anyone (not you in particular) to act as if his choices are somehow outrageous because of his faith is IMO ridiculous.
