Most values that exist in religious doctrine and culture end up spreading to secular culture. Issues like sexual shame, circumcision, censored language, etc. are all commonplace in America because they are actively promoted by religious conservatives and (for the most part) passively ignored by critics. It's difficult to be critical of values that religious institutions have without being generally dismissed as overly antagonistic.
