Not entirely sure what you mean. I would like to see these sorts of rulings applied across the board in every instance but they are not currently, because the religious enjoy protections over and above what we irreligious folks enjoy. Without that protection, for example, it becomes impossible for some religions to be practiced. It's banning religion, without actually admitting that you've banned religion.
It isn't me that feels that the ruling on child abuse do not apply, it's the religious. I can't stress that enough. Our rules don't apply, they have a higher set.
Here, lets take an example close to heart. Are tarot cards a religion? Nope. Not in the way we use the word. I don't feel that we should be banning tarot cards. Now, if people started offing their children because the tarot cards said so. I'd be confiscating decks.
