Oh, I don't know about that.

My own experience (about 5 years working a Ren Fest) is that the numerically dominant group, be it religion or whatever, tends to want conformity from the minority.

This I think is a human psychology trait, not a "Chrisitanity" trait.

*edited to say,

In case I was too crytic, pagans/druids/etc outnumber everyone else at a renfest by about 5 to 1.
