We must not facilely mischaracterize others' political positions, because they can often be strategic, pragmatic or realist in nature and not necessarily otherwise morally expressive. 

One cannot necessarily infer another's moral stance merely from their legal stance or even their preferred legal or legislative outcome from their political stance.

This is true even for the most controversial of political issues, for example, such as in devising strategies to reduce & eliminate abortions. Even among those who agree regarding the various moral dimensions, there can be honest disagreements regarding strategic approaches and their probable outcomes.

In the US, 1st Amendment & RFRA protections guard against any essential theocratic urges but not all practical implementations! Whether Left or Right, any over-reliance on hard power (legal, political, military) coupled w/a neglect of soft power (pastoral, enculturational, dialogical) can indicate latent, insidious theocratic aspirations.
