I don’t need religion to tell me murder is wrong. And that’s a dangerous line of thinking there as I’ve heard so many fundamentalists say “well how do you know what’s wrong and right without religion?!”

what if my religion says you can’t do that but so does the law because they share their core moral system?

That’s a good question, but religion is about as bad at answering it as all other attempts

Are you talking about murder? Because if anything legal morality is far better than most religious when it comes to killing people. And that's even with capital punishment still practiced.

A law isn’t necessarily bad just because religion might agree with it. Murder is wrong, and religion agrees with that. We can’t allow murder, simply because it violates a religious code. That’s taking a worthy concept - purging religious influence from government - and turning it into the same incoherent dogma which describes much of religion.

I’m confused, where did the murder implication come from??
