I think it should be made clear that my statements concerning deviance are based on religion AND law. However, I always find it interesting that people argue that the two should remain separate. Most laws are based on Christian principles found in the Bible. So the two are never entirely separate.

Where are the anti-sodomy laws still on the books?
As to the issue of deviance in terms of religion and law; there are no laws specifically against homosexuality. There are laws that prevent homosexuals from marrying, but nothing that keeps an individual from maintaining a homosexual relationship.
In saying that religion and law should remain seperate; I think people are arguing that, apart from the laws that are currently on the books, the government shouldn't be forming new laws based on religious norms.
That's not an artful way of describing it, but you get my point.
