Sorry, when you take any text, belief or value - religious or otherwise - so seriously that it effects what you wear and causes you to get upset when others don't follow your rigid values, you are provincial.

Don't lay all the intolerance at the doors of the religious. There is plenty to go around. For every idiot Alabama judge who decides to plop a big-ass granite 10 Commandments in the courthouse rotunda, there is someone else who tells a school teacher she can't wear her cross necklace to school, says the Muslim girls can't wear their head coverings to school, decides NYC schools can have displays of menorahs and Ramadan stuff but not creches, and decides that giving equal access to public meeting space to religious groups violates the First Amendment.
