Some creeds were more political documents than religous documents.
For example, there was a time when the King of England was getting a little too cozy with the Catholic church, and even married a Catholic woman. Parliament wanted to overthrow the king because of it. Fearing that Parliament would call on Ireland to help toss him off the throne, the King reached out to Scotland for help. Scotland said they would help IF the King had the CoE switch over to Presbyterianism. The Westminster Confession of faith was born out of those negotiations as a vehicle to help the king secure the help of the Scots to win a civil war.
Gosh, that sounds JUST like Utah!

The flourishing and growth of the FLDS was born out of the inaction of Utah and Arizona.
" Fearing that Parliament the LDS authorities would call on Ireland loyal members to help toss him off the throne out of office...Shurtleff refrained from following through on 80 warrants against the Kingston family, "We elected not to do that to try and work with their attorney. And, of course, the result of that was all our subjects disappeared, our targets disappeared and we didn't get the warrants served like we hoped to do," said Shurtleff."
Is this the type of lesson you hoped to provide in your post regarding the Westminster Confession? Something along the lines of "faith and politics"?
