I'm not sure this tracks. If the unicorn-shoe-believer really believes in shoe unicorns, how could they not tell other people how to wear shoes? If they stand by and do nothing, then billions of unicorns will come to harm from people wearing their shoes wrong. If someone told me they believe in shoe unicorns, but they don't care how I wear my shoes, I would suspect that they don't REALLY believe in shoe unicorns.
They cannot prove the existence of the unicorns, and thus they cannot define the unicorn's reaction to the shoes being worn. Perhaps the unicorns are fake, perhaps the unicorns do not mind sharing the shoe space with the feet (and are capable of compressing), or maybe the unicorns even prefer to be compressed by feet.
We don't know, so we shouldn't make it a universal moral rule, much less a law.
EDIT: Besides, it's not like religious people have never committed acts antithetical to their own religion.
Pffft... Now you're just making shit up.
Shoenicorns work in mysterious ways.
