I would disagree with this statement in the context of this thread. There have been a few posters who just outright stated that religion should be removed from all decisions concerning morality and laws. In order for me to do that, then I would have to deny my religious beliefs and practices, which I have no intention of doing. So, while you (and the general you) may feel that religion should be taken out of it. There are those that feel religion should be the major part of it, and denying those people their ability to infuse their religion would be very restrictive for them.
And again, where do you draw the line? Albeit Rudey went of on this ridiculous tangent with the animal thing, what I read his point to be is at what point to say no? By your statement then, those who want to practice polygamy should be allowed, those who want to engage in sex with minors should be allowed, those who want to engage in sex with animals should be allowed. Where does it end?

As for family values, what is more valuable in a family than marriage? This would create more families.

I meant family values in the context of Dubya, you know, husband, wife, a couple of kids and they all go to a (protestant) church.
