I agree, personally. I'd like a secular government in that laws and practices are not based off religious preferences or teachings, but not one that messes with personal religious expression. I'm not a fan of the concept behind a lot of "modest" religious dress - that the women must hide the shape of their bodies from the men who apparently otherwise would rape everyone in sight - but if freely chosen I don't have a problem with it. (And there is a blurred line between chosen, worn because of tradition,
expected to wear and forced to wear)
