I'm thinking the misunderstanding is with the word private rather than culture.

Culture can be EXPRESSED publicly sure. Just like religion can.

But it exists in the private realm meaning no particular culture has any bearing on public life regarding anything to do with the state (so law and order, government, police and military etc.)
