Personally, I consider all the examples I gave choices based on religious morals. Beastiality, Sodomy, Extramarital Sex, Theft, are all very clearly defined as against Gods will. As far as I am aware, there is no circumstance where a (reasonable) religion claims God supports any of these. The reason these things are generally considered wrong is that they are against societal norms(or have been for the majority of mans existance). This is due to Christianity/Judaism/Muslim etc. influence over the way our modern society developed.
Basicly, in teaching your kids right from wrong, you are teaching them religious values, even if you don't agree with the religion itself. Just because you don't want to tell your kid to stop banging his 16 year old girlfriend doesn't change this fact.
