I feel that God supports free will, and He has proven that from the very beginning.

We are a nation of laws and if free will totally reigned nobody would dare step out their front door.
All laws governing personal behavior is legislating morality.
The question now remains what will fall under that category and what will not.
And just so you know, the things you listed, at one time in different states were outlawed, and gossip today has to fit certain criteria or it can fall under slander, which is still against the law.
Blessings.
