I have the right to voice my opinion that I believe it to be wrong, and voice it also that others shouldn't do it.
It comes down to conflict.
What comes out of that remains on the debate (like how I'm one of the few or only one against this on this topic).

Western secularism is founded on the fact that religion is the domain of the individual.
If you want to enforce a law which justifies itself on a particular religious belief rather than rationalism (another foundation of Western civilisation) then perhaps you should move to Iran?
You have every right to voice your opinion on the matter. But rationally speaking from purely an ethical standpoint... I ask you... which is more fair?
A law which forces everyone to follow
your religious beliefs regardless of whether they believe them or not?
Or a law which lets everyone decide according to their own beliefs?
Including yourself
