The notion that you can't outlaw something if Christianity says its wrong, and that it is Taliban like "Theocracy" to do so is tiresome stupidity.

No, the idea is that you can't outlaw something just because Christianity opposes it. Or because some people oppose it.

I could probably get a majority of people to vote to outlaw meatloaf, because it is repulsive, but that would not make it the right thing to do.
Anyone wants a meatloaf dinner in the privacy of their own plate has a right to offend against the Gods of Good Taste and their own stomach.

The outlawing of meatloaf is a matter of indifference since it is not a question of right and wrong. If a majority of people voted to outlawed it, you should abide by the law.
