No, you drew a comparison between our form of government and a well recognized dangerous theocracy with the intent to disparage those who disagree with you.
It would be the same thing as me calling those who support the homosexual movement the gaystapo or gay Nazis.
All laws are based on a moral position. Without that moral position there can be no law. Our desire and our goal is to base our laws on the correct moral position. If we can not be sure the position is correct (absent faith) then we tread carefully.
Let me give you an example. I could make a strong case for a property-rights environment based on the notion that if you aren't strong enough to hold onto your property you don't deserve to keep it. That is a particular moral position with lots of cultural advantages. Why shouldn't the U.S. take such a position?
Other than the fact that stealing is wrong.
Shalom.
You are absolutely correct.
