The problem here is that many religious people are not in full control of their minds. We refer to them as "brainwashed". Also, if we are to go by conscience, that's also going to be troublesome as each person may feel differently about even supposedly trivial things in life. And there are people who will feel conscientiousness about everything ...
... and so if people make decisions we don't like, and we think they have done so for Irrational reasons, that justifies disenfranchising them from their rights?
Forgive me, but I want no part of that.
