Thought experiment... what happens when a follower of the Church of Satan denies a Christian goods, services, or employment?
The court could say that's discrimination, but then there's case law for any other religion.
What happens if the court invalidates the Church of Satan i.e. it's not a "real" religion?
That violates the Establishment Clause.
Looks like the government has painted itself into a corner.
The Christian would not want to work there. In the case of a service they would go get it somewhere else.
The real Satan Worshippers (yes they exist) could be encouraged to take offense and challenge the legitimacy of the ones using it for politics and to annoy people. That would throw a monkey wrench in your scenario. It does annoy me that the "Church of Satan" has the status of a religion, though. I don't have a lot of respect for Satan Worshippers but stealing a religion and blatantly using it for politics is one of the things that really irks me.
I have worked at private Christian Universities where I was afraid they would find out I was Jewish or that I had become pregnant before marriage. It seems like if this goes into effect someone like me could be fired for these reasons. It basically okays far right Christians to discriminate against those who hold different beliefs.
If you were working for a Jewish school that was as strict as the Christian schools you worked for wouldn't you also have to worry that they would find out that you became pregnant before marriage? I say as strict because I'm assuming that their is a range of zealousy (zealousocity? zealousocicy? IDK) in both religions from liberal to extreme fundamental. For example, I met some Jewish people in Maryland who had 2 complete kitchens right down to the utensils, one for meat and one for dairy because they couldn't mix the two AT ALL. I don't think they would have been very happy about someone being pregnant before marriage.
Get over it. Stop identifying yourself as some subsection of a human.
I haven't shopped at Hobby Lobby since the ruling was put into place.
ACLU doesn't mind publishing false information. The administration established a Muslim band?
Is it OK by the ACLU to discriminate against people with religious beliefs?
I used to play piano with a Muslim band. They were called Omar and the Howlers.
