In an ideal world, but in this case we're dealing with moral overreach from zealous Christian nationalists.

Again, you have no requirement to recognize this form of neurotic authoritarianism as anything related to either morality or christianity, for that matter. This isn't about morals at all, it's rather nakedly about control and ignorance.

...and it's packaged up as Christian nationalism. It's the next part of a very long campaign of developing an ignorant voting base who believe you are operating with a divine cause. It's used to cultivate racism and sexism and patriarchy. To not recognize the role of religion with respect yo governance in America's history is to ignore half the story. Look no further than the dollar bill, or Pledge of Allegiance, to understand how integral religion has been in our governance.

Of course they do. Laws are how we codify the subset of morals we can all (well most of us) agree on.

No, morals are individual. Ethics are what we as a society agree upon.
