Law always reflects morality.  The debate mentioned on your blog about Natural Law versus Legal Positivism is some combination of hypocrisy and stupidity.  The West effectively lives in a liberal theocracy where the religion of secular humanism and its morals are fully imposed with the force of law.  Historically, America in the past wasn't a theocracy when the American Christians realized that a decentralized government would allow communities with different forms of Christianity or other religions to impose their own morality on themselves through religion institutions or local government.  I personally find this system of government most appealing.
