Again. With the greatest respect.
I ask that you clarify your point and with greater specificity.
I may be a bit dull today.
Please.

Are you saying that individuals should find a “more subtle” way to express their religion”, i.e., NOT wearing a turban, or growing their hair, or growing a beard, or wearing a kippa, or wearing a crucifix, or the “fish sign”, or tzit tzit, or covering their hair, or any other means of adhering to one’s religion and requirements imposed on adherents by said religions?

Does that include the hiding or secreting of shops that cater to Halal or Kosher foods or specific religio/ethnic shops?
Would that include shops that cater to people from Great Britain? And shops that cater to French or German delicacies?

Are they OK because they are only ethnic or nationalist rather than religious? And what of skin tone? And of names? And what of accent?
And use of language? (out and at home as well?) You suggest a "subtlety" for expression of religious belief. I suggest that your suggestion is patently foolish and flies in the face of facts and is stunningly insulting to persons who hold their religious beliefs important and dear and smacks of the know nothing idiocy that a Richard Newson would try to peddle in order to remove religion from the face of the United States. Of course, as I said, I'm a bit off today and may have totally misread your meaning in this matter. Nobody has a good day everyday. If I have misread and am responding too harshly please forgive me.

Well, that clues it. Perhaps we should take this out in the street.
