The problem is that politicians who want to legislate based on their religious values are extremely picky about which tennets of their faith they want to codify into law. Luke 3:10-11 “‘What should we do then?’ the crowd asked. John answered, ‘Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.’” There's a distinct absence of many people willing to either legislate that into law or practice it themselves. Not that I'm advocating for codifying such things into law: this is merely an observation, and an expression of my frustration with those who want to impose their values on others, but only when it's convenient for them.
