I'm not talking about putting religion above everything else. What I am suggesting is that most people's moral framework is derived, in large part, from their religious beliefs, and it follows that moral decisions they make will be largely founded in the moral framework of their religion. That in no way implies that religion has any direct role in government, it simply acknowledges the reality that people make decisions about right and wrong based on what they believe is right and wrong, which is grounded in their religious beliefs. There is nothing wrong with that.
