Someone will just have to start a religion where masking in public is one of the purity rites for the devout. Better yet, join their religion first and schism another denomination off it due to the doctrinal demand for the ritual mask of purity. Then, they'll have to acknowledge its "legitimacy."

It’s called the KKK

The KKK actually persecuted many branches of Christianity including Catholicism and Mormonism, and burned down black churches.
