We are all fundamentalists

I’ve always thought to be silly the notion that one cannot “legislate morality”. Every law is based on some moral theory. Edward Feser has written a piece that shows the fallacies of the leftists and the libertarians concerning the legislation of morality.

When we push for certain legislation (be it income redistribution or property rights), we are attempting to force our moral theory on others by way of government. In other words, we are all fundemantalists—we just have different fundamentals.
