I agree. What they think about God is (or should be) relevant only to themselves.
If someone wants to base government policy on their own religious beliefs, or to be more precise, on the position of a church, then I have a problem with that. I heard a candidate for political office say that he was against abortion and I would have respected that if he had thought about the issue and then made up his own mind, but he justified his opposition by saying he is against it because he is Catholic and the church opposes abortion. What I think he was saying is that he allows someone else to do his thinking for him.
