Do you have reason to believe that he wants the opportunity to force that belief on others?

Well, yeah. He has pledged to uphold the law even if he vehemently disagrees with it, but has spent his career as a lawyer and legislator fighting and voting for new laws consistent with his personal religious beliefs- from abortion bans, to denying rights to same sex partners, and school prayer. The causes he champions dangerously compress the separation of church and state and are worth concern.
