I think you’re (plural) using and understanding the word “politics” in slightly different ways. As long as you believe that others should follow the rules you follow, it’s politics*. Even if your decision is motivated by religion, it’s still political in practice.
Nothing wrong with that. Nowadays saying that something or someone is political is automatically understood as an expression of identity/belonging, or placing someone or one at o other side of sort of a spectrum. But that’s not what the term politics means.
* gross oversimplification, I know, just trying to keep it brief
