I grew up in a secular household, so religion always seemed like a personal choice that shouldn't dictate public policy. But last year, my neighbor lost his job because his faith required him to take Sundays off, and his boss wouldn't accommodate. That made me rethink whether religious freedom should extend beyond private worship into how we work, dress, and live daily life. Religious beliefs are protected in many countries, but where do we draw the line between sincere practice and unfair advantage? I'm starting to think that for a multicultural society to function, we need a shared set of secular rules, even if that means limiting some religious expressions in public spaces.
