I don't want the state influencing or sanctioning the beliefs of anybody. With respect, AJ, that's a silly statement. Everey substantive law we have reflects and enforces the beliefs of some set of people against another set. Laws against robbery, murder, rape, etc. all reflect one set of beliefs and impose those beliefs on those who try to live contrary to those beliefs. (If nobody tried to live contrary to some belief, we wouldn't need the law.) Every law imposes one set of beliefs on people. And most of those beliefs originated in some religious code or set of beliefs. So, sorry, but that's the way the world works.
