You’re allowed to believe in a god. You’re allowed to believe unicorns live in your shoes for all I care. But the day you start telling me how to wear my shoes so I don’t upset the unicorns, I have a problem with you. The day you start involving the unicorns in making decisions for this country, I have a BIG problem with you.

    They cannot prove the existence of the unicorns, and thus they cannot define the unicorn’s reaction to the shoes being worn. Perhaps the unicorns are fake, perhaps the unicorns do not mind sharing the shoe space with the feet (and are capable of compressing), or maybe the unicorns even prefer to be compressed by feet.

    We don’t know, so we shouldn’t make it a universal moral rule, much less a law.

    EDIT: Besides, it’s not like religious people have never committed acts antithetical to their own religion.
