Neocons like to use fear. Fear is a motivator. It used to be “the spread of communism” they used. Before Viet-Nam and the Korean conflict that worked well for them. We all know WAR is good for business, fear is also. Neocons want you to live in fear, they like that. It makes them cash from the good Stock investments they have made. A example is Cheney, he makes $ 20 million from Halliburton stock and then he lectures Americans about not saving part of their Pay Checks and living on credit.
What a joke Cheney is. Just like Hisbushyness, a joke.
These types of Neocons have never worked a day in their entire life and never will.

It seems to be accepted that 85% of the population needs to be in compliance with a law in order for it to be effective. A lower level of compliance ties up too many enforcement resources to be effective.

For any society, there must be a common moral character to encourage compliance. Among different religions, there are still common moral themes upon which most can agree to establish a law. Where only one religion prevails, or none, government becomes a theocracy, establishing laws based upon the teachings of the elite few.

Whether or not there is really morality to those laws is impossible to establish since there are no other moral precepts to compare them to. By permitting several religions, morality for laws can be drawn from most of them, tolerance of the differences among them, and only the least acceptable of those need to be prohibited.
