"If we didn't want government regulating morality, we would have to get rid of government altogether."

Really, I thought the reason we had laws and governments was that the alternative is anarchy. The majority of the laws you mention may represent some general sort of morality of the "golden rule" type, but not necessarily a codification of traditional Judeo-Christian morality.

"It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
