"What would it look like?"

Good question. I can't imagine it. I liked his analogy to sexual harassment, as I know that is similar to what some people feel about it.

For example: A female has the right to wear provocative clothing without having to worry about comments in public that would cause her to feel uncomfortable or vulnerable with regards to her gender. Or at least if she is made to feel uncomfortable, she can expect the system to support her in putting a stop to it.

Many religious people in America, however, have become closet worshippers when in public, do to the freedom of others to express their disdain for such beliefs, and the discomfort, or overt reactions, that can result. The same may be true about having an Anti-religious belief. It is similar because one's beliefs may be at the core of what defines them as a person. But I don't think the same approach is do-able ... partly because I don't think we did enough with the sexual harassment thing in the first place.
