By that logic our entire moral system is based up religion.
I think laws should only be created to protect personal rights and freedoms, not to protest religious ideals. Murder infringes on someones right to live. Assault, theft and rape all infringe on personal rights. That's why they are wrong, not because the Bible says they are. That's why they should be illegal.
I think an employer should be able to offer jobs at any hours they please, as long as someone is willing to work it. The 8 hour work day doesn't have anything to do with religion, and it's logical. Over-time laws should still apply.
If a store wants to sell alcoholic beverages, why shouldn't they? As long as they make sure they are selling to someone of legal age, what's the problem?
Stuff like this really irks me.
