Religion in law

Religious beliefs and morality should not be entrenched in law in any country that allows freedom of religion. If you wish to outlaw prostitution, adultery or sex crimes involving consensual sex, or drinking on certain days, it should be for secular reasons.

There are many countries which incorporate religious laws into the constitution.
These countries are non secular countries and patronize a particular religion.
I feel that non secular countries must not include any religious laws into constitution.

Any country that gives value to freedom must acknowledge the most basic freedom - the freedom to believe or not to believe in whatever one wishes. Law should not be based on the beliefs (or even the lack thereof) of those in power; it should be based on preserving freedom and preventing one individual from infringing on the next's rights, while ensuring that everyone's basic needs be met.
