People don't usually get sentenced to life in prison by judges who can make up whatever laws they want arbitrarily, nor does it happen for thoughtcrimes or for merely refusing to submit mind and body to the judge. There are exceptions, and they are horrible places I'd never want to live.

There's a huge difference between not wanting to be a part of society and actively causing damage to it. If you don't want to participate in secular society, you have options to limit that participation to varying extents without bringing down retribution upon yourself. God doesn't permit mere non-participation. According to Christianity, if you don't submit, you are considered evil and he is going to punish you in whatever brutal ways evangelists can concoct in order to change your mind. It's not love. It's extortion of the worst kind, and that extortion is the nucleus of the Christian belief.
