The question is should that be the job of government? I say that’s the job of civil society. Once government takes on promoting values, don’t be surprised if they start promoting values you don’t like.

The govt. is a necessary evil needed to protect a civil society. The question is what is the basis for the moral code it exists to protect. Is our moral code based on our heart or something else.

I have no problem with people letting their religious values inform their opinion on public policy. I have a big problem with government telling people what those values should be.
