The accomodation in this case is to accomodate people who have a non-falsifiable belief in something, and to cave into petty bullying that if you don't go along with it you are somehow harming them or being mean.

A non-falsifiable belief cannot be tested or disproved. It can only be asserted.

No one should have to knuckle under to non-falsifiable beliefs. If my neighbor claims they are a bird, I should not be required to go along with it. It is not unkind to not go along with it. It is not being anti anything to act in accord with known falsifiable beliefs. It is living in reality.
