I don't think that this issue requires one to turn their beliefs off and on. This country is one that was founded on the separation of church and state. For each citizen to enjoy all of the rights afforded to them under the constitution, that separation must be maintained, regardless of what your (not you personally) personal beliefs are.
What happens if the majority religion of the country changes? What happens if Christians become the minority and this country is run by Gozer worshippers? I sure don't want them telling me how to live my life based on what their god tells them is right. This may sound extreme, but it really isn't. It's important to be able to see another side of an issue.
