Interesting if you look at it from another angle.
just supposing it wasn't religion but something else. like say you believed in aliens and some believed in fairies, whilst others believed in lepricorns.
a group of fairy and alien believers had to go and visit a place where they believed in lepricorns. and to show respect for that visit you had to wear a green hat and a ginger wig.
religion is a powerful thing really. it affects people in so many ways whether you believe or you don't believe. you have to be taught it as part of a curriculum.
