Basing laws on religious principles is a bad idea as is evident by Christianity's history and its horrible effects on modern society. Because of the bible and its mythical God's precepts, gays, abortionists, atheists, and many other groups are targets of all sorts of prejudices and societal hatred. Religion fosters bigotry and intolerance and the very herd mentality that has caused so much unnecessary strife in so many aspects of our modern society, all based on the ignorance of primarily the bible.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
