As religion can lead to some rather disadvantageous results (Bush's first veto was used on a stem cell research bill well past his re-election). Now most stem cell research is in Korea or UK or wherever there isn't such a connection between religious views and policies.
Also what one does that doesn't affect others around them should not have any legislation against them (abortion, gay rights, etc.). I know that if i knock up some girl I'd keep the baby for sure, but if someone else out there wants to abort it, well good for them I don't give a damn. What I see with religion is people forcing their views on others. Therefore religion should stay as far away as possible from any sort of power that control's people's lives.
