People are very confused about how religions create the vast bulk of the 'law" we encounter so I have recently delved into the subject a bit and pointed out that except for Natural Laws like the Law of Gravity or Thermodynamics, all law comes from religion because religion is where --- for whatever reasons --- mankind has defined what is "wrong" and what is "right".
As discussed in a recent article, the Law of the Land in the western world
is defined by the Law of Moses, specifically the Ten Commandments, which are
known as the Moral Law, and the Christian and Islamic variations that derive
from Mosaic Law are also part of the Law of the Land tradition by inheritance of
this foundational Moral Law. This is why many courthouses had (and many still
do have) art depicting Moses receiving the stone tablets containing the Moral
Law. It is upon this Law that our nation-states are founded and that The
Constitution is part of.
