Just how do you propose you seperate a man's beliefs from his religion? A man's beliefs are shaped by his religion and culture.
I practice it. Trust me, it doesn’t take much. Having grown up going regularly to Sunday school, a key lesson stuck with me and has shaped my abilities:
“Do to others as you would have them do to you” (Luke 6:31)
This lesson is of humility, not of being an authoritarian. A lot of people read it and preach it, but I’m sure they can practice it?

How bout I propose marx should never be a part of ones political agenda? In all fairness it's the same thing you are proposing?
Marx is known for his economic ideology as opposed to political. No? And while economic and political ideologies do mix, a wall was constructed by the founders of this nation between politics and religion, to protect them from each other. As for Marxist beliefs, don’t be so sure that even yours don’t overlap with his.

We aren't talking individual liberties. Establishing specially protected federally social classes is based on human rights
How would that be different from protecting religion from government?

Again, it was posited religion shouldn't be brought into politics. So......if you followed that train of thought.........you couldn't bring in anything so hideous as treating people as equals into the political arena.
That's american liberal/leftists thought processes, not mine.

Economics, government, society, marxism, socialism, communism, now radical environmentalism, all flow from the same well, and encompass far more than just economics. For instance china has all but abandoned marx in regards to economics and yet still consider themselves communists. Pretty neat trick huh?

Of course it's a political ploy, one guaranteed to placate, for now, demands made by the gay community that has, until recently, felt betrayed by mr obama and the democratic party.
Only two or three of these positions would appeal to consertives. Peoples such as myself from traditional cultures would not support you.
The gay rights movement existed far before Obama took office. The gay community has not made any "demands", it wants equality and fair treatment. While my stand on certain issues might not appeal to conservatives such as yourself, you are not the majority. The best President won't be a conservative or a liberal. If that's a requirement, we'll never have a good President.
