I've always believed that religious morality is the responsibility of the individual. Religion is about choice, after all -- therefore, whether we choose to be religious or not should also be a choice left to the individual. As long as your decisions affect no one else but yourself, and/or other consenting adults, then the government has no place governing your behaviour.
One day we all will answer to God. If you believe in that, then that should be a powerful enough incentive to confine your behaviour to within the doctrine of your religion. If you don't believe in that, no one really has the right to force you to.
