I don't think anyone is suggesting a theocratic govt. But some religion and subservience to something larger than ourselves is always a good thing IMO. Keeps a man (and woman) grounded
I guess for me it's more about submission and humbleness to something I'm ultimately accountable to. Not so much about actual rules and shit... but more like God's out there and He can strike me down whenever He chooses so I need to keep my shit straight while I'm on this Earth.

Not a fan of religion, but I always thought the 7th Generation Principle was something more people should be aware of.
It is believed to have originated with the Iroquois – Great Law of the Iroquois – which holds appropriate to think seven generations ahead (about 140 years into the future) and decide whether the decisions they make today would benefit their children seven generations into the future.

I reckon it's like anything where moderation and careful thought are key.

If that makes sense?
It does indeed. And that higher moral sense is a good thing. Thanks for a different perspective.
