#1: Illness is not voluntary, religion is. If you choose to adhere to a religion, you still have the responsibility to behave according to the standards of the society you live in. If certain people have an excuse to break the rules, what you have is anarchy.

#2: Religion is not analogous to an illness...bet you never thought I'd say that!

#3: An illness is not analogous to religion, neither is homosexuality.
