I am against the idea of Sharia.  Law is not part of religion, so "religious law" is a contradiction in terms.  It is like "religious engineering" which is obvious nonsense.  But this is not to say that religion shouldn't impact law.  Religion is about principles and values that should guide one's life, so everything one does, including making laws and engineering, should be inspired by one's religion.  But that doesn't make it part of religion.
