Not at all! Im a great fan of Alok Kapali and if he practices his religion to the letter without imposing it on the others or dosnt adversely affect his game then Im all up for it too. In fact, I will encourage all religions and religiously inspired people. It has to be enlightened versions of religions though and not extreme or rigid ones. I'm refering to the very essence of religions/faith/spiritualities and not the mere run of the mill cultural or ritual practices.

I believe, if people understand the spirit and lofty ideals of their respective religions and leaves out the negative aspects it will make them better human beings. Hence, better social cohesion. Unity through diversity.
