And I’m saying their beliefs are religious, and religious beliefs are not the basis of our laws.

There are people who legitimately believe that stepping on the Koran, or discarding the Eucharist, or believing a different faith is a crime worthy of punishment, and it is their moral duty to prevent those crimes, too. That’s not an argument to make something illegal, in fact it’s an argument specifically prohibited by the Constitution of the United States.

People believe all sorts of crazy shit, and while I respect rheir right to believe it, they have no right to force that belief on others.
