I'm not saying atheists are any more inclined to have conflict with issues in the OP... but atheists (and agnostics) lack the structure that there is a higher power at hand. As for Theists, defining the power of belief and the power of government is a pretty tricky issue. Historically religious institutes have had an interesting relationship with the state, and I'm just curious about it and thought it'd be a good forum for theists on this site to give their $0.02.

If I have any political interest at all its a leaning toward Christian Zionism though I haven't made my mind up about dual covenant theology.

Well I won't go down the list one by one, but I am a Christian and most closely associated to Libertarian thinking in that I don't believe that the Government should be involved in many things, unless specific conduct of one person harms another. So I guess the broad answer to your question is "no" I don't think that the Government should be involved in most of these issues.
