This is provided those beliefs are not offensive. If someone finds those practises offensive then do them out of the view of the public.

Religious violence should have a law encompassing this. People should never be allowed to use religion as an excuse to use violence: this is why we have a legal system. I do not understand why most countries in Europe are tolerant on this when it comes to the Muslim and Jewish communities.

The government isn't your friend and should have no business deciding what's "offensive" or not enough to be banned.

The average man. Discourage offensive behavior with social consequences, not government oppression.

That worked well with Hitler didn't it?

People are idiots who follow a crowd. Give me one justification for the Kardashians. Look at how long it took for gay rights laws. And then look at how long it is taking for those laws to be accepted. We still see homophobic and racial acts today. Relying on the good of people is simply crass.
