Historically Western Judeo-Christian cultures have produced (eventually) superior forms of government. That's not a carte blance for anyone of Judeo-Christian faith to start claiming that the specific doctrines of their faith have to be codified into law in order to have a government that's consistent with that "worldview".

Doctrines like *Do not steal*? *Do not murder*? *Do not lie*?

All the laws we have on our books have their roots in moral precepts, primarily based on Judeo-Christian principles.

No one here is advocating for a theocracy, which you know full well, but without the moral underpinnings that Judaism and Christianity provide, there will be no civilized society.

Doctrines like *Do not steal*? *Do not murder*? *Do not lie*?

Those aren't unique to Christianity, but you knew that when you posted it.
