You mentioned the status quo. If you had just asked whether that (the best place for LW to be being in need of determination rather than clear a priori) should equally apply to offending religious people (while taking all relevant differences into account during the analysis) I would have answered: “Yes, of course.”
My point is that being overly concerned about offending people is not good for rationality in either case.
I don’t see how status quo is relevant.
