All law is founded upon moral principles, for all law must protect the rights and privileges of some individual or group.
Religious principles are not to be confused with religious dogma, the latter perhaps having no particular purpose other than to bind individuals to a church or some other organization. Dogma, whether religious or otherwise, professes that some belief or other is central to some purpose. This may be true, but is true only as it hold the particular group together.
Principles, religious or otherwise, are central to all men, and thus have purpose in a general society. Religious principles, historically, value the individual and value life. Religious principles, historically, are the principles from where man has advanced.
Human secularism attempts to replace religion in modern society. The former generally upholds the principles of religion with one narrow and distinct difference -- sexual behavior.
On this ground secularism falls short of religious principles. Contemporary man finds enjoyment in deviant sexual behavior. But it is a selfish act. The victims are children, and the conceived but not born, and the not-yet-conceived. All are injured by reckless and selfish behavior condoned by secular humanism.
Now modern secular humanism is straying in a second area central to religious principles -- telling the truth. As man strays away from the ancient fear of disobeying his creator, he sees lying as a means of furthering secular humanist ideas, trumping up the deficiencies and supposed deficiencies of his adversaries in the interest of promoting "modern" reckless behaviors. There is a reason for this. The "humanists" tend to be educated in just a few institutions of learning, such as Harvard University and UC Berkeley. Indoctrinated by liberal "humanist" professors, they come away believing they have become smarter and more learned than the average person of less education. And so they come to feel that they must lie in order for their favored "secular" politicians to receive the electoral votes necessary to implement their supposed superior ideas.
But these people are lost, believing that marriage is a license for engaging in deviant sexual practices, and many children are hurt, coming into the world absent the two loving natural parents of whom they deserve, sometimes given up to strangers, and sometimes aborted.
Religious principles, set in thousands of years of tradition, trump the deviant drunken behaviors of modern "secular" society.
