Sure, we may have some ridiculous laws that only exist because of zealots, but they are relatively small compared to the ones in Iran. If a law was passed that was anything like the Iranian morality police, we'd riot. The only law that hurts no-one that can put you in prison for life would be certain drug crimes, but I wouldn't say that's necessarily religious as the bible doesn't say much about drugs. It's more cultural.
