It really depends on what "that" is. My faith says "You shall not commit murder." However I also expect others who do not share my faith to not commit murder. My faith teaches that we must be honest in our dealings. I also expect that people of no faith should deal honestly.

Faith informs the moral values of the faithful. Morals are expectations for everyone's behavior (as opposed to mores and observances which are only incumbent on the adherents of a faith). In a pluralistic society with like the United States with our first amendment freedoms, it is not legal (or moral) for me to impose my faith on other people, but in a democracy, I can use my political power as a citizen to advocate for a moral society and laws that ensure the common good. The morals and social order I vote for certainly can and should be informed by my faith.
