In the same way you have the choice not to live by a religion, they have the choice to live by that religion... and that choice is both respected and protected in law.
If I threw a pig corpse at a mosque, it would have a far different meaning than if I threw a chicken corpse.

For those who chose to hold the animal in high regard, they're not saying nobody else can do what they want, but their choice should be respected for that individual.

I know they can live by religion if they want to
but I don't agree with their views and I don't agree that they should be treated differently by virtue of their belief in nonsense.

Selling someone pork when it should be beef should be considered to be as bad as selling someone horse meat when it should be beef. I don't see that it's any worse because some people have decided that pig is bad but beef is okay. I don't think that is a justifiable position to take.

I think we're arriving at the same point from different views.
I agree that it should be treated no goodly/badly, but I disagree that it should be disregarded as a non-issue.

I think there's a distinction to be made between respect and toleration.
I am morally bound to tolerate your religion, provided it does not hurt others. I am not bound to respect other people's silliness, just their right to be silly.

It sounds like reverse of tradition here, you're inflicting your athiest views on them, rather them inflicting their religious views on you.
