Actually, it's not the least bit silly.

The problem is that people who want to make rules for other people have to self-justify by claiming that their rules are better than the other peoples' rules.

It's really no different from your objections to religion, except it doesn't posit an external deity.

If you were honest enough to apply your grounds for opposing religions to structures of law, you would find little, if any difference.

You have unprovable beliefs in things just as Greg does. It's just that he includes a God, and you don't. Otherwise, there's no functional difference.
