>Don’t do it to anyone unless you’d also slash their tires.

I really do not understand the reasoning behind this statement.

Sabotage of the belief system and slashing tires are very different. Fundamentally different I would say.

Slashing tires leads to an outcome that becomes very quickly obvious to the victim and is easily repairable.

Sabotage of the belief system goes very likely unnoticed to a person and can last for hundreds generations and is very difficult to repair.

All the more convenient, then, that sabotage-of-beliefs is not per se a crime.

I would word it more carefully.

Sabotage of beliefs is not understood to be a crime.

If people understood how much damage it could cause then they perhaps would reconsider it.
