> freedom of religion, a fundamental human right

They believe in not forcing people to follow a state religion. That’s not the same as letting people do whatever they want because “religion”.

It’s not like most religions believe in freedom of religion anyway. The same people who argue for the right to wear certain headwear belong to a religion that prescribes the death penalty for apostasy.

Perhaps freedom from religion is a fundamental human right.

Perhaps there are valid concerns that many women are being forced to cover themselves against their will, but are unable to do much about it. I havent studied this spesific issue enough to say either way, but I am not clear where your certainty is coming from.

They do understand the concept, they just start from premises that are different from that of the anglosphere.
