Maybe we need ways other than the law to stigmatize bad behavior. The law is a blunt instrument.

Churches might serve this purpose, but those are out of fashion now.

You don't need a church to express social disapproval.

There are lots of behaviors that are not illegal and not against religion that we still use social feedback to minimize.

Thank God (:p)
I love the idea of minusing "thank God" / being happy that religion is largely passe. . . pure vindictive retaliatory holy grace
