    They should drop all of them, because Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

      Hot take: The “no prohibiting the free exercise of religion” rule should be updated to “religion should be practiced free as long as it does not seek to subvert democratic institutions, or infringe other people’s human rights”. Anything else will lead to the slow and painful death of secularism.

        Yeah, we need to crack down on religion because they’re oppressing people who want nothing to do with them

          Start a church. They’re tax exempt. In fact, I don’t even think that the IRS is permitted to audit them.

          It’s on my to-do list. Beyond being tax free, you can go out and solicit donations, you can fundraise in a variety of ways, I’ll bet you could get “clergy” passes for parking or any number of conveniences.

      You mean that piece of paper Trump wipes his ample ass with?
      Sorry, there’s a long brown stain covering that amendment now.

    This restructuring of faith codes, which help identity service members as well as the military in planning for appropriated religious coverage to include them, has now excluded minority faith/worldview groups including Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans.

    Ah the Trump covid testing strategy. If you don’t look for cases then they will simply not exist.
