You don't think they want to and try to all the time?  A gay person's life is still held hostage in many ways by social and legal restrictions on the books and in the hearts ONLY because of the overrepresented influence of organized religion in supposedly secular politics.  Same with public education.  That it's friggin' 2007 in the free United States of America, and we STILL can't just teach real sex ed. in schools (controversy over condoms in 2007???), or teach comparative religion, that "creation science" is in court all the time, hell, that a gay person still has a good chance of being assaulted just for being gay, well, that says that organized religion is having much more effect on public policy and behavior that you seem to realize.
