As for the OP's question, it's because people want religious freedom. The New England colonies are the best example of this that you're going to get.
Okay, I guess we shouldn't enforce laws against murder, theft, and adultery, aye? After all, not all of us are Jews and Christians.
Murder and theft do not need divine utterances to make them illegal, and why should adultery be illegal?
