Ah, but that is introducing shades of cultural gradiations and variances in religious interpretation into the discussion, rather than it being simply right or wrong.

For instance, some Catholic women always cover their heads in Church, but some don't - who is right (or is it a matter of choice)? Most CofE churches allow other Christians to take communion at Mass, but Catholics (the last time I attended), don't.

There are variations in all walks of life and faiths, and trying to make them binary just to back up a proposition just doesn't work.
