In my opinion, those principles are a pretty sure-fire way (though not the only way) to lead a good life, and to help others to lead a good life. If we stick to those principles, we will be OK. If we stray from those principles, we are at risk.
But should our Country's Laws and Policies be driven by a religious principle...or should they be driven by the Contitution, And whether they interfere with the 3 core values of the declaration of Independence........Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?
