    It’s quite literally saving your soul from eternal damnation if you follow the religion.

    Except, it’s just bronze age mythology… Which has no place in the law.

      Iron Age actually, and because you don’t believe it doesn’t make it any less real for believers.

        Anyone can believe whatever mythology they enjoy. That doesn’t mean we need to codify their beliefs into law as a way of protecting criminals.
