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.
Can you find me a case where ANYONE was criminally charged for wearing a hammer and sickle at their job?
And specificity matters because you appear to be getting all fatoozed over something that seems to be a non-issue.
