Why don't you tell us one law in the US Code that doesn't contain a moral component.
I was referring to making laws about morality based upon religion. This is a clear violation of the first amendment's establishment clause.

Can you give a specific example?

Then you don't understand the first amendement. Are you suggesting that a law maker has to disregard his religious foundation of morality when voting on legislation?

Because if you are, you're in the wrong country amigo, the old Soviet Union is what you're looking for.

For instance, my religion tells me not to murder. Are you suggesting that having a law proscribing murder is unConstitutional?
