"Meanwhile, in some countries, some lawmakers are eager to legislate what cannot be worn, and where."

You're talking about countries like Saudi Arabia, right?

Or by "some" do you mean "all" because pretty much all countries have some laws regarding what can and can't be worn.

Or is this another ham-fisted swipe at atheists that defeated itself before it even left the gate?
