    There are many such laws that are argued for from a non religious point of view.

    Recreational drug use: Laws against possession and use of drugs like marijuana, despite debates around whether adult personal use should be criminalized if it doesn’t harm others. Prostitution/sex work: The exchange of sexual services for money between consenting adults is still broadly criminalized in most states. Gambling: Many forms of gambling, even when just involving individuals risking their own money, remain illegal in some jurisdictions. Obscenity/indecency laws: Restrictions on distribution of pornographic material or public nudity, even if just involving consenting adults. Physician-assisted suicide: While permitted in some states, actively assisting terminally ill people to end their lives remains illegal in most places.

      So you just named several things that are predominantly argued for by religious people for religious reasons, even if they don’t come right out and say it.
