Precisely. That’s why the silly argument “some people reject evolution on religious grounds, therefore teaching it in the public schools is an unconstitutional religious preference” is wrong — accepting that argument forces preposterous conclusions (e.g. having an army is an “unconstitutional religious preference” because some religions preach absolute pacifism and others don’t).

That isn't the argument but it explains the histrionics.

And your analogy is still weak, try something else.
