The three values of Olympism are excellence, respect and friendship. To honour these, the host country France must lift bans on wearing hijabs in sports.
The government dictating what I can and cannot wear is infinitely more problematic than a religion doing the same. I can quit a religion if I don’t like their rules. I cannot “quit” the government.
The hijab ban is evidence of excessive governmental intrusion on the individual.
How can a religion murder a person? States can impose laws that allow or even mandate murder for you quitting the religion, but that’s another instance of a state telling you what to do and what not to do just in a much more extreme fashion.
As for a religion justifying the killing for quitting, well, that still depends on a jurisdiction where the killing would be allowed by the state.
Anyway, I think your comment is derailing a bit because in the case of France it is not allowed to kill in the name of any religion, but it is forbidden to practice your religion freely if you’re a Muslim.

Uhh many religions will straight up murder you for quitting.
Maybe not in a secular western country, but else where yeah good luck quitting.
Like… France?
