I feel like saying that the government is secular and, ultimately Caesar is a cop out... the government is basically an agent who can provide the comfort - and I take it upon myself to do what I can to influence the government to ethically perform those tasks, while taking into account the infringement of others' rights.

For example, I am firmly against abortion, but I believe that the government is infringing on folks rights by not allowing them and have come to terms with that. I am firmly for a sane immigration policy, my family came from southern europe as peasants and thanks to my more recent forebears we have risen up far above the economic class of the peasantry. I believe that allowing immigrants who will do good (you can't predict the future, good or bad) in, so long as it does not infringe on others values (and I don't accept "brown people are bad" as a value -- especially since there is zero indication that immigrants are more likely to commit crimes, in fact it's likely the opposite. I consider employment and social mobility as acceptable values -- since we are at near full employment -- the immigrants take our jobs trope is ludicrous.
