“All law is based on morality. All morality is based on ‘religious’ perspective”
This is your quotation, Stating that “All morality” is derived from “religious” perspective, and is patently false. franky am surprised nobody else called you on this ridiculous statement.
Morality derives from ethical theories, beliefs of universal right and wrong, philisophical teachings, and
the evolution of applied and situational ethics. There can be religious influence, but a blanket statement such as yours is patently absurd and flied in the face of human History and what we know of codified law such as Hammurabai and summurian writings.
The works of Plato and Aristotle are the foundation for much of western societies philosophy and ethics, and can be argued were one of the cornerstones to english law which is the basis for our present court system. If you wish to illuminate yourself, this would be a good place to start.
