Originally no, but later on yes.How do they not?Both religion and politics ask the same questions, which is how should we live our lives?
They really don't. Or at least they shouldn't. Conflating the two is a problem.
For example, the Ten Commandments are a long list of things that purport to be morally good for society. Interestingly, when originally produced there were no penalties for breaking them
And today, our laws from the secular state are nothing more than moral edicts as to what is "good" for society, with a whole slew of penalties for breaking them.
One simply is a warning, while the other is your judge and executioner.
There were major penalties for things like murder and adultery.
The Ten Commandments were given right after they had fled Egypt. There was not government to lower the hammer.
