If he thinks a fetus is a life which deserves legal protection in the womb is that a secular or religious belief? It could be either, or a combination of the two. Perhaps even he doesn't know how much of which it is. We can't read others minds and if we could I don't think we'd find separate lobes in the brain labeled religious and secular. I'm not suggesting that there are. I'm suggesting that there are some people who will jump from "God says it's a sin" to "ergo we must make it illegal with nary an independent thought. I'd call that person a theocrat and I wouldn't support his candidacy. It's no different from those who want Sharia law. What Allah dictates must also be the law of the land. Theocracy. To conclude that someone is a theocrat, you'd need more information than that person's stand on the legality of abortion. If someone wanted to make eating meat on Fridays illegal, then you'd know that person was a theocrat because there's no reasonable secular value to be found in it. Abortion is not so simple.
