But it is your religion that is against these things (let’s not nit pick about various forms and types of abortion). I don’t believe in your religion, so why should its rules apply to me? This is what freedom of religion means: I don’t have to believe in your religion nor follow its rules if I don’t want to.
I have a friend who is way more liberal than I. He says he is more afraid of fundamental Christians than he is of terrorists. He has a point, although I’m not sure I totally agree with him. Fundamental Christians would take away many of our civil liberties in a heartbeat if they could, force us to go to church, stop the teaching of evolution, etc, while the probability that I’ll get hurt or killed in a terrorist act is pretty small.
