And I must disagree.
Not everything is worn for express religious reasons. Take Rastafarians. They wear tams for cultural reasons, a way to mark themselves and cover their dreadlocks. Tams, and their right to wear tams, are protected in the workplace under descrimination laws, and not much can be done about them. Kilts fall under cultural clothing and ethnic dress, which are protected by this same series of laws which are an ever expanding umbrella. Africans are allowed to wear traditional tribal wear, their bright colourful shirts, vests, little hats, and SKIRTS in the work place, and it is protected under the cultural umbrella. And these are men wearing these Kikois... Skirts. There are so many different pan african movements, and not all of them are considered religious, but the cultural clothing is protected from discrimation.
Kilts fall under this same protection that was created to protect minorities and their various ethnic entrapments.
