I always connect religious influence one politics with conservatism and a step backwards. Christanism has od course important values but they are not really up to date. It seems to me as if the country and the world is changing faster than the religion can adapt. Or if it does not want to do that, the gap gets bigger.
How can you only think about telling your citizens who to love? Would the society fall apart just because you see married homosexuals walking around, holding hands when all you see now is homosexuals walking around and holding hand? But this is gettin too much of a homosexuality discussion.
I do not trust the church. I trust my belief and I don't need anyone to govern it.
As long as people run a country with high values and apprciation of religious beliefs and values, the society will prosper. But religious lobbies are something that Jesus surely did not have in mind.
