> We should be governed by secular laws. We are. > Those of a particular faith should be free to follow that faith amongst their own but should have no right to enforce their religious beliefs on others. That is nonsense. Are you saying the state should be forbidden to (for instance) limit the operating hours of business on Sundays because that might align with the population's religious convictions? The way should and does work is the motivations for a policy almost always don't matter, so long as the policy itself is constitutional. If the state can regulate store hours, then it can regulate them on any day as it sees fit.
