That is what Christians do. Religion is a political weapon.
You don't go around stoning people even though the old testament allows it, why? Because it isn't socially right (i.e. politically) or buy slaves (which was allowed by the Church) now because it goes against human rights.
You have to understand that a lot of religion policies vary with time according to what people think. Religion is nothing more than a document (like a constitution) that can be edited to suit societies beliefs. I firmly believe it has nothing to do with God.
Spirituality, on the other hand, is what you believe in your heart. The sort of thing nobody can tell you, and no book can guide you. Do
you believe in something is a question of spirituality. Religion attempts to brand and market it, and make itself powerful of it.
