Why does it matter about specificity? I'm not sure why that is relevant here.
Also, if we are separating out beliefs from practices, then the law is about allowing practices deriving from beliefs. That's why employers in the UK are legally obligated to accommodate dress connected to religious beliefs, or to accommodate religious holidays.
For example, Bob is a Christian and wants to wear a cross at work. Sarah is a communist and wants to wear a hammer and sickle. Why is only the wearing of the cross backed by law? Surely it should either be both or neither.
