A morality that recognizes that my rights end where they infringe on yours, yes. That is a necessary part of the law, which exists to protect our rights.

Sounds good until you realize that the Founders realized and stated quite clearly that our rights come from a Sovereign Christian God. They recognized his sovereignty at the State Level by passing and supporting laws against Sodomy, and clearly, if they had known that their Progeny would be supporting Buggery, redefining Marriage to include perverts or Homosexuals and murdering their unborn children, they would have put Amendments in the Constitution to guard against such excesses.

"Sounds good until you realize that the Founders realized and stated quite clearly that our rights come from a Sovereign Christian God."

The issue isn't where they came from, although it's a mistake to think that the founders were all Christians. They can come from god, but that doesn't mean that it's ok to write your religious beliefs into law. That is most certainly not what they were implying. That is totally contrary to the whole notion of individual freedom, which is the principal upon which they were founding a government.
