I have your answer and fortunately, it's quite simple.

In Islam their 'biblical' law is the final solution wheras in Christianity biblical law is
the schoolmaster....

"But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards
be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be
justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." -
(Galatians 3:23-25)

Unfortunately for you, humanist seculars are still under the law by the self admission of having no
"faith". That means that in your eyes it is highly likely that you may think of people of the
"faith" being above the law, and acting in ways you don't understand.
