The people of the modern world have evolved past all of that nonsense.

I am speaking to the US Bible thumpers here, of course ~ many of whom are flat-earthers who deny evolution and see scientists as evil people who are constantly trying, and succeeding, in disproving their beliefs one by one.

Notice that I said their rules, not any gods rules.

Those rules that you are trying to reinstate are rules made by men who didn't know anything about the earth, nor anything about all of the other inhabitants of it. How can you not see that?

My problem is that people who try to shove their rules down everyone's throats - including by physical force - DO EXIST .

I do not personally care if you believe in a god or not.

A belief in a god is not the problem.
