Um, a conservative jew is required to wear a skullcap on Sabbath. Some muslims believe they are required to wear a headdress. Telling them they cannot IS telling them they cannot practice their faith.

And, I'm sorry, but if you're offended just by SEEING someone wearing something pertaining to their religion and think that the mere presence of them wearing a religious symbol is "waving it in your face" - you've got some issues with religion that go beyond the respect of one's right to choose it for themself. I don't like drugs, but I don't think someone wearing a marijuana t-shirt is trying to get me to use drugs either.
