92. Actually, it is legislated.
Blue laws are still in place in many localities all over the country- laws like not being able to purchase hard liquor on specific Christian holidays, or before noon on Sundays.

Not being a Christian, I couldn't possibly care less about keeping their holy days free of intoxication. Working nights, these laws restrict my ability to have a drink when I get home from work on those days.

It's a little thing, but it's also huge, because I don't follow their religion, but in some cases, I have to follow their religion's laws. Their religion's laws, and those of others religions, were effectively put into legislation via Prop 8.
