Why are there laws in the U.S., like those concerning the death penalty, abortion, and gay marriage, which regulate morality, when there is supposed to exist a separation of Church and State? Is morality not subjective, something decided on by the general population but not agreed upon by all? The laws in the United States are greatly the result of Christian morals, not Muslim, or Hindu. If a separation existed, would laws that regulate morality exist?
I do not wish to argue morality; any of the issues listed, or whether or not the first amendment means a separation should exist, so, please, as a request, answer only the question asked.
