We fundamentally disagree here again; I'd be more inclined to say "there's a name for a cult with more than a few thousand members. It's called a religion.". I personally find it ridiculous that one load of fairytales and nonsense can be considered "more legitimate" than another, purely on the grounds that more people happen to believe it.

I'm not necessarily saying that people would be lying about their beliefs in order to manipulate freedoms. I'm saying that, feasibly, there hypothetically COULD be a group of people who believe that hiding the naked body, supposedly the pinnacle of God's "work", could be considered blasphemy. It's a perfectly justifiable religious logic, much moreso than covering it, debatably. And if that group did exist, and was to be considered a "real" religion, would it not then follow that those people could claim the right to be naked wherever they want to be naked, on religious grounds?
