Religion is mostly a set of laws, not much unlike the american constitution, but under the guise of so called higher powers and such.

a constituion might state that public drinking should be banned, because of so and so, and a religion might state the same, because its supposedly the gods will and such.

most religions are laws put into practice as to how one should live, and what not to do. And if you deter from the texts, you are breaking the code, or in a constituion, the law. 

If you break constitutional laws, you go to jail, if you break religious laws, you go to "hell". 

Problem arises when the constitutinal law, and the religious laws are opposing one another. And laws have little to do with culture.


Right. Good thing you don't have to opt in to being a Muslim, right? Making all their religious "laws" completely irrelevant to you. There's absolutely no problem with constitutunal and religious law opposing each other. There is no law forcing Muslims to eat pork or forcing non-muslims to read the Quran, right? So I'm sorry, but I'm not at all seeing the real issue.
