Your post mixes specific religious practices with universal axioms of civilized behavior. Public virtue relates to the later, not the former.

In your opinion, the axioms you think of are universal. In the opinion of the Islamists, the different axioms of Sharia law are universal. In the opinion of Communist regimes, the Marxist axioms are universal.

You are a postmodern then? No such thing as universal truth? You really don’t believe the prohibition to murder is a universal axiom of civilized society? Really?
