I desire ethical behavior and not an anarchy where all the vices are worshiped, that is true.

But I am not for a Religion from government, no.

I don't see how vices could be "worshipped" in an anarchic world.
Personally, I don't know where vices would be considered worship except in a theocracy. It makes no sense otherwise. Kind of like the old temples/religion of Aphrodite where sex itself was a form of worship.
But I am not for a Religion from government, no.
Well, that isn't exactly what a theocracy is. A theocracy is governance by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided so the question still stands as unanswered.

Do you want government to enforce your particular views on religion?
