*edit missing word*

Why? Because religion infects every aspect of public life from politics to education and pop culture. Since those things are public, they can and do have an affect on those who don't have the same sect, have a different sect, or have no religion at all.

I think it is perfectly natural to challenge such claims and discuss them and debate them. If our species never questioned social norms our species never would have left the caves.
