When "but my religion says" is an argument that carries more weight than "but the rules of our LARP are," then you have religious privilege.

I'm trying to explore the parameters of that disagreement. In past discussions, I haven't managed to get a clear idea of what exemptions, concessions or privileges Katrin believes should be extended, relative to agreed or imposed societal ethical norms, to individual citizens or groups on grounds of religious belief or identification.

I would like to clarify this somewhat before going on to the question of dress. Insofar as I have been routinely accused of religious intolerance or worse in past discussions, I prefer to be prudent in this one.

Personally I see some degree of religious privilege as inevitable, for historical and cultural reasons, and perhaps even desirable, but only on condition of a level playing field. I'm sure Jake will disagree with me, and assert the right for congregations of LARPers to claim a church building for their practices.
