When government becomes sexual anarchists and allows anything to go on as long as it's done in private (incest, bestiality, homosexuality, etc. etc. etc.) it's not only harmful to the individuals engaging in those behaviors (where do you think HIV/AIDS and all the STD's disproportionately contracted by homosexuals happen at? Granted, public restroom toilet stalls and public park bushes have to be included with the sodomy chambers as crime scenes...) it's harmful to society.
As we've seen after homosexuality was made legal in the vast majority of States and finalized with the unconstitutional ruling of Lawrence v Texas:
When immoral behaviors are made legal, those who engage in them organize.

Why do you think the Founding Fathers left England? For religious freedom (they didn't want to be forced to worship under the Church of England).
"Congress shall make no law..."
The basis of the establishment clause goes back to my earlier point: Freedom to worship.
Criminal trials have a Judeo basis: Deuteronomy 19:15. How do you think that 12 people sitting on a jury came about?
In the ancient Hebrew text, the 12 minor prophets were one book called “The Twelve”) 1- Hosea, 2- Joel, 3- Amos, 4- Obadiah, 5- Jonah, 6- Micah, 7- Nahum, 8- Habakkuk, 9- Zephaniah, 10- Haggai, 11- Zechariah, and 12- Malachi. The 12 Apostles (Matthew 10:2-4, Luke 6:13-16). The 12 Discovers (Numbers 13:1-33). The 12 Stones (Revelation 21:14)].
I.e. giving a Judge the right to overrule a jury on it's findings. Which also goes back to the Biblical origins of our criminal justice system:
Deuteronomy 16:18,
Now that you've been schooled on the biblical basis of America's criminal justice system...

I've been curious where you were going with this, on one paw you are advocating the return of the government to the privacy of the bedroom and on the other putting forward reasons why the government should not be in the bedroom. I'm more than willing to concede the latter if you wish.

the establishment clause and freedom of religion conflicts with the ten commandments.

jury nullification,
I.e. giving a Judge the right to overrule a jury on it's findings. Which also goes back to the Biblical origins of our criminal justice system:
Deuteronomy 16:18,
and other various aspects of the common law tradition that allow courts and judges to not only interpret the law but judge the law itself and overturn it if necessary.
Now that you've been schooled on the biblical basis of America's criminal justice system...
