I'm not religious. That said I know lots of fairly religious people who don't seem at all dogmatic. The overwhelming vast majority of them seem to be quite content cherry picking from their chosen faith, accepting what pleases them and rings true and tossing the rest out the window. Now I've only lived on the coasts, both east and west. I've never lived or spent much time down south or in the middle of the country where I'm told it's different. I know very few if any extreme religious people. I know tons of Catholics who've divorced, popped birth control pills, had premarital sex, lived in sin, ect.

I don't think the abortion war is necessarily religious. However I do think it is probably true that it is mostly religious folks who really push politically to fight abortion.
