I think it is interesting that beards can be apart of a religion. What do you think about them?>
I think beards are very cool, I'm apprehensive of anything being tied to religious belief though. 
I get that. Some people feel really strongly about beards, like the Beard Liberation Front that campaigns to support beards. 
Wait, there is a beard liberation front? What do they do?
Yes, I was surprised too. It is a British group founded in 1995 that campaigns to oppose discrimination against people who wear beards.
That is strange, I wasn;t aware that people had been being discriminated against due to them having beards.
I did not know it was that big of an issue. They even have a Beard of the Year award.
