Never.

It's honestly pretty funny that Atlas is dreaming of some random future where atheistic (or Christian-In-Name-Only) norms are the only ones present in politics, while in the real world, Roe vs. Wade is set to die as soon as Ginsburg leaves SCOTUS.
ProLife opposition to Roe V. Wade has nothing to do with religion.

Yes it does, at least for many of us. 

I know of a number of pro-life atheists and used to be one myself. If anything, the pro-life position comes more naturally under an atheistic worldview than a Christian one.

Fair enough, but I was just saying that religion has a big influence on many folks' opinions of abortion, myself included as a staunch pro-life Christian.  I certainly don't deny that there is a strong contingent of secular pro-lifers as well, however.

This applies to me. I'm an atheist and I'm personally pro-life, but my political view is a pro-choice stance.

Religions, even if they don't call themselves religions (Marxism, nationalism, worship of money being three particularly noxious example), will always have influence on politics.

I'll go so far as to say that because science, by the very nature of reality, can only collect and analyze data from "existence," and any God would have created existence, there will ALWAYS be a very substantial percent of the population that hypothesizes our reality may have been created by a higher being, and there will NEVER be a scientific discovery to disprove that entirely.

"Religious influence" could mean very different things. Some of these aspects might well disappear in the US (as they have in some European countries), but others won't as long as there will be religions.
