People would be free to form their own communities with their own laws, police forces, and judicial systems. That means that if someone wants to live in a mini theocracy, they're perfectly free to do that. That's what freedom means.
That just shifts "the law" elsewhere and just being a smaller community doesn't make your laws better, indeed many huge strides in "rights" have been achieved because of communities (large communities and nations" working together. Just think what would have happened in the States were all communities allowed to set their own laws, hundreds or thousands of children being taught creationism as science.
No government, no set of rules or laws "doesn't interfere" with people ... people's freedoms ALWAYS get affected by what others want to do, by rules they make.
Better a democracy for all IMO.
