[quote=Anonymous]Again.  People move here and/or convert knowing that the society is not constructed around their minority faith.

They already counted the costs and decided it was worth it.

Population densities change and sometimes it gets a little easier (enough people for a decent-sized house of worship and weekend religious schools, etc.)

But it wasn't a dealbreaker.

You shop carefully in the grocery store to avoid forbidden foods or products that have them, buy fabric to modify store-bought clothing if you need to, patronize your special grocery stores/religious shops when they open.  And you take the day off for your holidays and make up tests later.

People have been doing this for decades.  America is very accomodating which is exactly why minority faiths have increased to the point where we get to have enough population for businesses catering to our needs and desires.  In some areas, there are so many that the public schools change calendars as a matter of operational necessity.  If you can't wait for that to happen for your children in 5 or 10 years or for your grandchildren, go to a religious school or homeschool.[/quote]
