No, I mean countries with religious (as opposed to secular) legal systems, like Saudi Arabia, or Iran. Where certain vices, or perceived vices, are regulated harshly.

Are you equating law based on the natural law, like ours, with Sharia law?

The former is based on the natural order of things and is knowable by all people.

I'm equating law made on a religious basis - like the one you're suggesting - with law made on a religious basis, like sharia law. Their rationale for banning pornography is exactly the same as yours.
