    we need a religion that will make it so that you can’t believe in Christianity, republicans, trump supporters, etc… so that way we can claim it espouses our religious beliefs, just like that chucklefuck web designer said. This way we can be protected under this new ruling.

      My brand of humanism forbids me from interacting with liars and proponents of bad faith. aka: don’t feed the trolls. Christians citing the bible in bad faith; right wing nut-jobs citing the constitution in bad faith; SCOTUS citing religious persecution or reverse racism in bad faith…

        Is Atheism considered an organized religion though? Sincerely asking because someone mention that yesterday and it got me thinking, would Atheism actually be protected under religious freedom laws?

          That’s kind of what the Satanic Temple is for. It’s an atheist organization but fulfills the “requirements” of a religion so that it can be protected under the first amendment
