This.
Using Biden as an example - yep, he's Catholic, but so far, I haven't seen pushing the Catholic pro-life agenda. Whatever else I may think of his politics, the man knows how to keep his religion separate from his job, and I can respect that. The current crop of GOP asshats? Not at all.
Biden currently doesn't push a Catholic pro-life agenda, but it would appear that wasn't always the case. Apparently his Senate record says otherwise:

Not to say that I wouldn't vote for a Catholic or even today's Biden; but one certainly doesn't have to be a fundamentalist for his or her personal religious beliefs (ANY) to affect how they attempt to shape public policy.
