I don't see harm by them not being allowed to wear it...

And you should talk about all religions, but only in a negative way.

    How would you feel about somebody banning your favorite attire? What right do they have to tell you what to wear?

    Why? Even though I'm an atheist, it's also clear that religion is often a source of comfort and community to many people, especially during times of hardship. And by learning a little about different religions we can learn to be more tolerant of people who see the world differently.

    Its not a favorite attire when its a religious thing that is forced on people.

    Nope. We don't need to tolerate things that preach intolerance. There is nothing positive about religions in general.

    Am I asking that we force women to cover their hair? No, I'm saying that they should be allowed to choose by themselves. Not coerced to cover it, not banned from doing so either. Let them choose.

    The only intolerance we are seeing here is your own.
