You are talking about religious beliefs and rules... You can pick ANY religion and ask if their rules are logical...
Why no Pork for Jews?
Why no Pork or Alcohol for Muslims?
Why no sex/marriage for Catholic priests?
Why no meat for strict Hindus?
etc etc...
An airline (Delta in this case) doesn't have to understand or agree or endorse a religious belief to try to cater to customers by offering special religious meals...they do it because it is good business...
