First, you have to realize that you cannot argue for any type of morality without it being a feature of some kind of religious morality. You could argue that religious practices should not be required via law; but it would be absurd for anyone to argue that the state shouldn't legislate against murder because a prohibition against murder exists in almost every religion in almost all places and times.

It isn't "the state." Freedom loving individuals don't want to be murdered. They jointly agree to a system of self-protection. It has nothing to do with "religion." It is self-survival.
