If he were in some branches of the armed forces, he'd find his career seriously set back if he didn't attend his superior officer's prayer meetings and keep quiet. I could go on for a long time.

If you think religious organisations can't impose their rules on non-members in our "civilised" nations, you haven't been paying attention for the last ten years.
