Thanks Susan.  I'm atheist.  I'm happy for anyone else and everyone else to have their views and faith and practices.  I'm also thrilled to learn about them/theirs/others. I'm happy to learn how to be more more respectful, inclusive... so thanks for the tips and hints....  My gym has been particularly flexible to accommodate members during Ramadan with class times shifted (and often to my advantage also! :-))  I don't need someone to provide answers that 'satisfy' my own views or biases or for you to explain/justify your faith in terms that make sense to me in my particular bubble.... but I DO  I VEHEMENTLY object to any Govt making decisions on ANY religious basis...  and I ABHOR the current cultish behaviour emanating from a non-recognised, profit motivated, female denigrating, peadophile-led, pseudo-religious sect as espoused by ScottyFromMarketing.... just saying....
