"ramming your religion down people's face" is what a LOT of religion are doing. Take for example hidjab (muslim scarf). We even have a law at some point in france to prevent religion from intruding special places like school, but i was under the impression that was considered discriminatory in the US..
i don't know about quebec either, I was actually only speaking about france.
I have the feeling france really has something unique with its relationship to religion ( and multi-culturalism in general) that could really benefit a lot of modern western societies. Unfortunately for now the influence goes the other way, we're the ones being influenced by the craziness happening in the US..
yes , it makes sense i think. Those necklaces are barely visible and very often are hidden by your shirt. They're hardly comparable to something that covers half your head.
Kippahs cover a very small portion of your head; I work daily with a guy who wears one and rarely notice it. Hijabs are more conspicuous, but like...so what? The intent of the 1905 law is abjuring the promotion or the degradation of religion, and simply wearing something on your head is not promoting anything, any more than being gay or, god forbid, indicating that gay people exist, is promoting homosexuality.
