    Irrelevant example since there is no freeist religion. Most religions we have in the world today are thousands of years old and are deeply intertwined with the culture of the countries they are practiced in. Don´t be ignorant towards history, it is a very shallow approach.

      Irrelevant objection. What does it matter how many people believed in something for how long? Who’s to say which imaginary belief system is to be taken seriously, and which is to be discarded?

      You’re free to believe in whatever you want, but so am I. You’re free to submit to religious rules, in exactly the same way that I am free to not submit to them. Or have my own, different belief. Further, I’m not obliged to follow practices from other cultures in different countries.

      Don’t be ignorant towards the power play you’re inviting if you accept such encroaching behaviour.

        I don´t see how that does oppose behaving respectfully towards people with different believes.
