Exactly why I sometimes fall back on legality for some morality since not everyone is under the umbrella of a religious morality.
In some circles it's the church council or elders, which like I said before a circle within a circle since the council/elders have to work within the scope of what's allowed by law. Whereas in Iran and similar faithbased governments, the council/elders are part of the government.
