In a representative form of government, if the people of that society have strong faith based convictions then laws should reflect those convictions.
I also happen to personally think the Judeo/Christian value system serves any society well including the heritage of America IF AND WHEN it has been truly followed and not replaced with something else while only keeping the Christian name. Counterfeit Christianity has been both unfortunate and a paradoxical blessing at the same time. On the unfortunate side, much wrong has been done in the name of Christianity when God had nothing to do with it and in many cases the Bible condemns it but causing many who are unfamiliar with the Bible to erroneously think whatever wrong there was must be what true Christianity is about.
