One does with Taurus and Scorpio, crystal energy and ley lines?
Does "one does with Taurus and Scorpio, crystal energy and ley lines" mean "one plays with horoscope and fairy tales"?
Background info:
Colleagues who agree that there is no God, who agree that we do
not need religion to be moral, and agree that we can explain the
roots of religion and of morality in non-religious terms, never-
theless come back at me in gentle puzzlement. Why are you so
hostile? What is actually wrong with religion? Does it really do so
much harm that we should actively fight against it? Why not
live and let live, as one does with Taurus and Scorpio, crystal energy
and ley lines? Isn't it all just harmless nonsense?

"as one does" means "as one lives and lets live", i.e. as one tolerates, letting other people live how they wish.
It is asking why one should not be tolerant of religion in the same way as one is tolerant of belief in "Taurus and Scorpio" (i.e. astrology) or "crystal energy and ley lines" (similar nonsense).
