They say "I can't" when what they mean is "I'm not allowed to" the same way a child says "I can't, I'm grounded." Sure, they both can but by their rules, they're not allowed to, and in both cases, they believe that consequences will follow if they break the rules.

The difference to me is that people want to follow a religion, but they have to follow laws

You decide to follow the laws, everytime you do you take responsability for your own actions, laws are just as made up as religions

Do they have to follow laws? Only if they're afraid of the consequences of breaking them.
