I know there are many people out there - in my own country and in other parts of the world - who have very strong religious beliefs and convictions. They believe that those religious beliefs should be made a law of the land. I call these Morality Laws.
It is true that society benefits from shared values and behavior codes that support each other and add to a rich common experience.
However... the spiritual truth about religious moral codes of conduct is that practicing the edicts of your religion needs to be a choice or it loses its value. Moral behavior needs to be an act of free will because it is a relationship between a person and their God. If Man chooses to take away that choice by making a spiritual relationship into a Law of Man - they diminsh the very thing they hope to elevate.
The bitter irony is that making morality the Law of Man is an act of sedition against God and, as such, is an inherently immoral act.
