to be against contraception, abortion, gay marriage, etc. The problem is that these issues, which used to get fought over and (maybe) eventually settled in the churches have no become explosive issues in the political realm with politicians assuming the role of being the country's (or state's) pastors/spiritual advisers- even though they're SUPPOSED to be making public policy on the basis of rational, evidence-based reasons that are supposed to serve the broader welfare of the citizens of this country, not narrow denominational faith-based reasons. The wall that's supposed to be separating church and state has been ridden with bullet holes (if not larger) since the 1980's and there does not seem to be any indication whatsoever that it's going to get better before it gets (much) worse.
