"[Jesus] said to [the scribes and Pharisees], 'All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.' "
Some tradition--even in religion--is unavoidable, and even very good. The problem with false forms of even the true religion is the exaltation of human (non-God-ordained) tradition *over* the specific commandments of God (as they are found in the holy scriptures).
This is why we may, and should, without batting an eyelash, totally disregard *every* and *all* religious dictates that would be foisted on us--even by religious leaders, which cannot be traced directly (or by necessary inference) the the Word of God. Enjoy your freedom as a liberated churchman!
[Luther quote of the day: "When we willingly and gladly hear the Word preached . . . let us assure ourselves that God, by and with this preaching, sends the Holy Spirit into our hearts." --from "Commentary on Galatians"]
