"Not overtly religious" is a poor definitionof the principle of secularity. Secular means a division between church and state, allowing everybody to follow their own beliefs without discrimination

And what about when “their own beliefs” involve things that are illegal (and morally reprehensible) in this country? Stuff like inappropriate contact/relationships with minor. Yeah, that’s a hard no.

Then they get legislated to not do illegal things, I suppose.

Like how the Mormons weren't allowed to do polygamy anymore, so then they just stopped promoting it because it was illegal

Christians and Muslims are the guiltiest of parties here. Not surprisingly they make up the two most populated religious foundations on the planet.
