Most belivers do not actually abide by their god's rules. Society is secularized today, so most believers recognize that they live in a society where their personal rules have no place in the laws.
Those who do believe in their god's rules (we call them fundamentalists) try really hard to have their rules implemented by governments. And in some country (i.e. Iran) the governments obey.
Actually - No one abides by rules of gods - gods are imaginary - and the rules are made by humans
Religion was once the way to keep the uneducated masses of people in line - and therefore the rules had to at least originally be harsh - but today - they have no place in society. To claim they have a divine origin has NEVER been established -= and most of the laws are based on ancient prejudices that have long since passed.
