because saying that distinction should exist is kind of the opposite of what Judaism has been traditionally since its inception. You're trying to apply modern social mores and Western liberalism to something which /really/ isn't.

In Judaism, "being nice to your friend" is a religious law. "Not stealing", "not cheating", "not saying nasty stuff about people behind their backs", "paying people on time" etc. are religious laws the same way "keep the sabbath" is. There is no distinction.
Judaism is a tribal religion, from a part of the world where tribes and family groups are still very strong and part of the underlying mentality. So that means you're part of the tribe, and these are the tribe laws. You can choose not to keep the laws, but that doesn't change the basic trappings of the system.
In a sense, Judaism is not even a religion the same way Christianity is.
