Interesting to read, but confusing.

Here in the U.S., would the legal trouble Kim Davis (think Kentucky and gay marriage licenses) got in be considered a "government harassment or use of force" against a religious group?  How about the mandate in the ACA that Catholic hospitals had to include contraceptives in health insurance in employee insurance?  

We look at all this through a lens colored by our national experience and a culture that has been shaped by it.  We are also experiencing growing globalization, with people of different cultures and experience moving into places that have a very different culture and set of expectations about dress, behavior.  Many of us are also affected by our ability to send and receive communications from just about anywhere in the world - and that is spreading to more and more people.   All this means it is harder for countries to maintain the old cultural and religious identities they once had.

Just food for thought.
