So do they also forfeit the right to practice Christianity?

I'm not suggesting that the state should be in the business of supressing religion, but there is no reason why the state should have to accomodate every crackpot criminal who claims his weird beliefs are a religion.

I get nervous whenever the Govt gets in the practice of deciding what is a "legitimate" religion and what's not.

I would guess that most people think other people's religions equal "weird beliefs".

Asatru and other obscure religions may seem like "weird beliefs" to you and me, however they are long standing recognized religions.
