I disagree. Religion does not need or warrant special, protected status 
during interactions of private citizens. If someone wishes to give out fere 
hair dye, or preach on the virtues of going bald, fine. If someone wishes to 
give out free Bibles or preach Buddhism, just as fine with me. IMO, the 
sooner we accept that religion is neither dirty nor sacred, the better of we 
will be. By keeping it as taboo, discourse about religion is stiffled and 
close mindedness is encouraged.
