Actually, at the time of the events in the bible, eating of pork was prohibited on solid public policy/health grounds. At the time people who ate pork were likely to get trichinosis.
Similarly, using condoms prevented pregnancy, which lessened the population. At the time, public policy favored expanding the population for, among other purposes, the military.
So, again, the "religious" law and the "secular" law went hand in hand.
