Liberties have always come paired with obligations to one's surrounding community, so there would be nothing new in this. We have a name for pure liberty or "liberation" shorn of any checks or obligations towards others: we call it licence, and every increase in licence is ultimately a step towards bondage and tyranny.

Those obligations are strong and operational in many places where religion isn't the center of civic life.

There is nothing wrong with religion as a framework for teaching people about their social obligations, but it's hardly the only way to achieve that.
