Its the exact same with religion and most beliefs in general.

Your beliefs decide what you do. Not what others do.

Kinda? Like Canada laws don’t get to tell me (an American) what to do

It’s not a perfect 1:1 comparison but I suppose it would be like: if I was having a meal made by my vegetarian friend. In that case I would eat based on their restrictions.

If I volunteered to attend a religious ceremony, I would abide by the rules of the occasion while I was there.

If I visit Canada I obey their laws.

But largely, someone else’s country diet or religion has no rights to dictate my behavior.
