my dear friend, again there are no laws based on religion but on social and moral accepted codes of behavior to preserve a society. History taught us if you kill and steal your society will collapse. Those laws that were based on religion were unconstitutional. No one goes to jail because they missed church. School prayer was a good example, it was based on religion and was rendered illegal (rightfully so) But we had the law for many many years because no one challenged it. If laws such as this still exist in some states then it waits to be challenged. The Supreme Court doesn't go looking for cases, it rules on cases brought to them. I cannot speak for other countries, just my own.
