In today's society, legalization carries with it an implied societal acceptance. People have the attitude of, "Hey, it's legal, I can do it, and don't you impose your morals on me."

Clearly this line of thinking is a direct consequence of setting up the government as the arbiter of what is right and wrong. The more the government controls people's behaviour, the less they will exercise their their own judgement on matters of morality.
