Violence, drug use, nudity exist, unlike your magic man in the sky.
Of course some will argue this, but it's a belief at best.
And no you have no right to ask me to cater to your beliefs.
All these religions have their quirks and things not to do.
Can't drink alcohol, can't do shit on Saturday, wear this or that only for this occasion, can't open a jar of pickles on your toilet, etc...
If someone from their own cult doesn't do this, or say something about them, they can complain to them.
For the rest of the world it doesn't exist and don't need to be bothered with it.
Religions and cults imposing their ways on non-believers are a known part of history.
They have literally killed for it.
It is a matter of principle to not give in to any infringements of personal freedom.
No matter how little effort it would take.
I don't care if that upsets you.
the majority of the world is unfortunately.
But "you have to bend because there's more of us" is not an argument.
It is obnoxious at best if not threatening.
It's a small step from "don't say something bad about our invention you have nothing to do with" towards "follow these rules of our invention you have nothing to do with"
