That's one of the things I love about Glastonbury Town. Apart from a few of the usual fringe oddballs, different beliefs respect each other and rub along together very well. A few years a go, some militant Christian (?!) born -gains deliberately targeted the pagan shops and caused hassle and upset. The local Church came out strongly in defence of the Pagan community against this. That was very cool and well respected by everyone. The Krishnas came through one Sunday and had a large float, with singing and dancing. Locals, children, visitors etc with many different beliefs or none all joined in. There was a wonderful atmosphere. That's what it's about!
