That's true for many Americans, but not most and certainly not the vast majority of Americans.
There are several factors explaining why a minority who hold these religious perspectives can have (and have had) a stranglehold on American's political system, including a concerted effort to organize and politicalize groups that didn't typically participate in the democracy (Ralph Reed and the Christian Coalition) while suppressing the participation by those which had (college educated, criminalization of drugs and other activities, etc.).
The actual 'Establishment' or political culture that controls and runs the government really doesn't care about the issues of birth control, abortion gay marriage; it cares about MONEY. It has, however, conflated these issues in order to get the only thing it cares about (and cares about the People about) -- Turnout of its voting base to win control of the instruments of power in government in order to get more money.
After it gets our votes, we can go to heII as far as the 'Establishment' is concerned.
