Codifying taboos seems reasonable if we're codifying norms in general - taboos are basically norms of not doing certain things, after all.

We seem to have a pretty strong norm of not lying to each other, and a weaker (and possibly not generally endorsed) norm of not talking about any religious or spiritual practices that we might have.

Not lying to each other sounds like a very good one.
