There should be very few laws that can do this. At least controlling what people do in private. In public, some decorum and community standards need apply.
Things like harm or depriving another individual of freedom (child abuse, restraint, assault) should obviously be. I am somewhat on the fence about drugs-as-part-of-religion, even polygamy laws i am not too in-favor of. Personal freedom and responsibility should be the rule, and religious freedom should be just another part of that.
