I would say action trumps belief.. regardless of it's positive or negative social impact. When religious beliefs are used to affect government or social structure from a top down method, I feel it's incorrect. Changing society's concensus which then affects government is one think but government should have no control over belief, only when that belief moves to action. I hate politics.. I must be very tired..
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
