- Many things are declared immoral by the government, from murder to theft to
- denial of civil rights. If religions also see these things as immoral are
- the laws wrong? Alternatively, if religions see these things as acceptable,
- are the laws then OK? What it comes down to is, what basis does a government
- then have to declare this or that action immoral?
