Some countries {Holland} legalize prostitution according to the recent
travel documentary. Majority of marriage is a form of legalized
prostitution not unlike a business transaction here in the US and even
in the so called Christian nations.
Fundamentalists want to legislate morality to prevent legalized
prostitution here in the US.
Perceptions of morality belongs to closed minded individuals who are
driven by desires for power or fortune. Governmental institution
develop laws in the interests of society in general. Why do some
countries like Holland legalize prostitution and the US does not? Is it
due to the dominance of atheists in that country as opposed to the
majority of theistic beliefs?
Atheistic belief if you can call it that is amoral, neither moral or
immoral. If morality depends on the perception or desire of the
majority of the population here in the US then atheism is immoral. No
atheist has yet been elected president as far as I know in the history
of the US. Presidential candidates still cater to the majority to win
the white house. Those who believed in evolution are still in the
minority and the majority would elect those they expect won't legalize
prostitution.
