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.
