You're missing my point. The people who want to impose religion upon
civil life want to do so through legislation and the courts, and they
have failed at times, succeeded at other times.

As well they should have.

 

Laws restricting or making abortion illegal are an example of success in
imposing religion in civil life.

Only if you believe it's impossible to believe abortion is murder unless
you also believe in religion/god/supernatural etc.

Unless some state finally got a law passed defining human life beginning
at conception, then no homicide has taken place. If it's not homicide,
then it's not murder.

By making it conditional upon what I believe instead of legal precepts,
you lost the argument. "What I believe" is religion.
