The fact that something may be contrary to a specific relgious outlook (i.e. an abomination to God pursuant to the Bible) is not, IMHO, an adequate reason for it to be banned in the US. If we took that position, what is to stop Muslims from demanding that loans have no interest? That women not be permitted to own property? Those things are abominations to Allah. Relying on a religious argument really gets nowhere in a debate about what should be permitted under US law.

Where are you coming from? A values neutral philosophy? You take a person religious beliefs out the argument then what's left?

Surely society will and obviously is in a steep decline because religious ideals and arguments for the standards of how society should be guided are steadily being thrown under the bus, and it sounds like you're one of the drivers.
