Brian37 is right; the language of the government has no reason to make reference to specific groups of people under any circumstances (I might make one exception for the age of consent/responsibility).
Thank you. I am catching shit from all sides saying this.
All you have to do in law is say "equal protection" and "freedom of religion", without adding a group name to the language.
No winks to anyone by name in the law, then there is nothing for anyone to argue over. It is not a ban on participation, it is simply saying you cannot be included or excluded. Only neutral language can do that.
