When it is, or could be, your religion in the public square it is innocuous. When it isn't, it isn't. I hope Neo doesn't throw up his hands in exasperation before we get through this. Now that we've sorted out the rules for discussion, I'd like to pursue how this same idea plays out in practice. Previously when we discussed practical accommodations, the issue has always been about the majority vs the minority and who gives how much to whom. Either by coincidence or not, that split also turns out to be "your religion" vs. "not your religion." And then, of course, there's the issue of who decides how innocuous something is--majority, minority, them, or us. Of course, we never have the same appreciation for the sensitivity of the beliefs of others as we do for our own. So I an still waiting for an answer to the question of whether it's a minority/majority thing or a us and them thing, or some of each.
