Well, let's think about that.
If I were a politician I would....
-Enforce gun control because of my faith
-Socialize healthcare and welfare because of my faith
-Pass anti-bullying legislation because of my faith.
-Pass anti-abortion legislation because of my faith
-Legalize same-sex marriage because of my faith
You see, my faith is totally compatible with science. That helps. A lot. God and science totally affirm the existence of each other. But, thankfully, I have many secular reasons to have these opinions to.
I see that only women's reproductive freedom isn't making your list. Since we agree on so much else, I'm grieved at that. Still, you will find many of the other theists here differ from you fairly extremely... unless, of course, you think slavery is OK.
