Self-selection bias: the fact that people who joined your organization are okay with it does not mean that nobody chose NOT to join your organization because of it.
I'm not saying that everyone should go and totally change their ritual, drop their traditions, etc. I'm just saying that I often feel that the white, Christian majority in most of our orgs (NPC and NIC) can be blind to their own privilege as the "in group". Everyone has dropped the actual WASP clauses decades ago, but that doesn't mean that "tradition" doesn't still stand in the way of true diversity, in many instances.
