Since secular humanism focuses on the people and their needs, I would suggest it's far more appropriate as a basis for law than any particular theistic view. But suppose we do eliminate both a religious and secular basis for law, what does that leave us? What standard shall we base law on?
Now, go back and read the words that I wrote. I said "world view." In other words, no particular world view would be the basis for laws. I am so damned sick and tired of you people trying to deny people of faith any say in what happens in their own countries! So, if you're going to ban religion as a basis for law then I want atheism, secular humanism and all other world views - religious and non-religious - banned as well. I want an absolutely neutral system.
