So based on your 2 anecdotes, all religious people are hypocrites?
I'm an atheist, in fact, I'd say I'm an anti-theist as I dislike religion for a number of reasons, but while religion exists - which is always, as far as we are concerned - it's better if we try and make sure we all get along. This story involves 1 shopper who was told by 1 Muslim - who was very apologetic according to the shopper - that someone else would have to serve them, and it took place in 1 store, yet based on some of the comments I've read on the web about this, you would think that Sharia is about to come into effect across the whole of the UK. The way the story was reported on some sites is to blame for that, but M&S have said that it was a mistake and that they have a policy of allocating appropriate roles to religious people that failed on this occasion. That should be the end of the matter. I'll leave the outrage to the Daily Mail readers, but this really isn't something worth getting even mildly concerned about.
