Freedom (s it pertains to politics) should have it's grounds in morality, law, and virtue, not religion. That is just my opinion, but it seems to make sense to me. Law is made to enforce what is right. What makes something right? It is based in morality and virtue. We try to do the right thing for everyone. Laws were made to save those who are moral from those who take advantage of those who are moral by breaking their morality (I know it's an oversimplified argument, but it seems to work in this situation). Acts should be based in morality, laws should be based in morality, acts should follow moral laws, and thos who brake the laws should be punished with morality in mind.
