Unfortunately, that's not how religion works. Religious beliefs are among our most compelling and deeply held beliefs to whomever holds them. They will vote based on their beliefs. They will insist that the proper organization of society is pursuant to these beliefs. That's what it means to have religious beliefs in the first place.
That's why the content of beliefs matter. A person with liberal religious beliefs will, at least, be compelled by the same things you mention above - your freedom. A person with authoritarian religious beliefs will shit on your freedom. In either case, they do so with the full benefit of having satisfied their religious duties and sensibilities. In a world of religion, we'd better hope that they find something decent to believe in.
They aren't looking too swell right now, at least here in the us. I'd even say that they seem to be unwell, coming apart at the seams. I don't envy the task that people who follow a liberal religion will have before them in repairing the reputations and credibility of their umbrella faiths. The Wife, for example, used to bite at every opportunity to witness, but now..she doesn't even mention her beliefs..because she doesn't want to be confused for "one of those people". Fucked up, huh, lol.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
