I usually don't get into these, but think about it Super, we legislate religion and morality every day in this country. Have you ever heard of a "dry county" where they don't sell alcohol? That's usually from a religious (often Baptist) push by the legislators and those they represent. What about prostitution, same thing, ditto for walking around naked. Stealing, thats not allowed by another commandment. The morals of a society are set by the victors of war/takeover. Do we not impose the will of the United States (our laws, which reflect our collective moral will) on places like Hawaii, that we bought/took?

We don't impose laws (any more) that say you must go to church, we did in the days of the Pilgrims. Maybe I'm not being too thoughtfully deep on this one, but ours laws definitely reflect our morals, which often come from our (collective) religion. If someone is an athiest, it doesn't mean they necessarily believe that stealing, killing and coveting thy neighbor's wife are OK (well, maybe the last one is actually more of a guideline than a rule).
