Why should religious belief get any privileged position in this matter?

If you're running over someone's conscience on a matter involving human life and death, why do you care that their conscience is based on religion?

Personally, if someone is morally opposed to what they perceive as killing, I don't care if their morals are based on religion, atheism, or just squeamishness. Preserve their moral objection to killing. It's too valuable to society for us to trample on it.

I can't opt-out of supporting the military with my taxes - how is this any different?
