Leviticus is a book of Hebrew law. It takes its name from the Levites (or priests) and some of it does specifically address the Levites. But most of it is directed to the Hebrew people as a whole with instructions given by Moses (supposedly direct from god).
The argument that it only applies to Levites really only makes sense for those chapters addressing priestly duties. Those duties are addressed in Chapters 6-10 which have to do with priests duties at sacrifices and the ordination of priests and some special extra laws for priests in chapter 21. Chapters 1-5, 11-20, and 22-27 applied to everyone.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
