Good point. But the law is much more efficient when it is based on shared values. And the law cannot cover all aspects of living in society - or should not, although sometimes it seems people would like it to.
There is a discussion in my country right now to make a law forbidding people to wear a veil hiding the whole face. I am horrified, but most people seem to agree with this idea.
