Yeah I regret this topic being made into a value weighting thing. I hate the hypocrisy in the current discussion. Although I also hate how signalling religosity somehow finds a way.

My point is that the reason behind the policy is pretty solid. The state should be blind to my religion and no-one should get preferrential/or malign treatment because of it.

Allowing kippas and crosses while disallowing a dress that is at most a religious gesture not even a concrete symbol is just weird

Sure, all should be banned

Definitly agreed!

I guess that's where opinions just differ, and honestly my point of view isn't really relevant here as I am not french and I have a very limited knowledge of their culture in this regard.
