    Most people tend to make decisions based entirely on their beliefs.

And those very decisions affect others who do not share in those beliefs.

    When, say, birth control comes up, and a policy maker like Rick Santorum or others says how they don't believe that God would approve, well, its not an argument you can really have either way. Do they know? Not really. Do we? Not really.

And they would push those beliefs on people who do not agree.
