How about respect for rational, logical, or moral views? There are more and more stories about conflicts with society and religious freedom: should a doctor caution gay patients because her religious beliefs give her a bias against them, should a Sikh be able to forgo a hardhat in favour of his turban, should a Muslim woman be able to wear a niqab when testifying in court?
But what about atheists? If none of our views are based on religious belief then we are presumably not allowed to tell gay people we just don't like them, forgo a hardhat in favour of hairdos or head wear, or cover our faces in court. But why not? How is it fair to grant exceptions to some people based on irrational beliefs?
Accommodations should be available to all, not just the deluded. In fact, accommodation should be given for rational justification and not for unsubstantiated belief. Otherwise I should be allowed to take all Mondays off because I believe that my Fairy overlords will torture me if I don't spend all day every Monday worshipping them by baking sweet treats.
