I just found the gold standard with regards to religion and public policy

"A good political idea should stand up on it's own, independent of the religious belief that may have spawned it."

From somebody on a mailing I subscribe to.

1. That's why many complain that the religious left isn't speaking out

When the religious left argues against a policy, they feel they don't need to invoke Christ's name in order to advocate for it, because they feel any policy position should be justifiable on secular grounds alone.
