You have to go back to that tricky "establishment" word. See, if
multiple groups believe in something, that means it isn't an
establishment, unless those multiple groups don't include the group he
is in, at which time they constitute an establishment, because those
differences no longer are sufficiently important to be a real
distinction. Or something like that.
