and it is only done if the majority of the town has two eyewitnesses testifying that over 50% of the individuals of the town worshipped idols after being warned that doing so carries the death penalty

You realize that's not better right? It's literally religious persecution as a law.

More absurdly, this would even apply to worship of gods that by all available evidence are in fact older than Yahweh.

Imagine someone suddenly coming up to you and saying you cannot worship Yahweh because Botar is the one true god and has been the only god in all of earth's history.
