As Kavanuagh’s comment demonstrated, the Republican-appointed justices seemed to feel that in America today, it is religious people who are the victims of discrimination and whose needs are ignored.
So the group who are tax exempt and have many of their religious holidays as nationally recognized paid holidays, as well as have had the last 47 presidentail elects be of their religion (not including in other positions of authority), are suddenly victims of discrimination?
As a European watching the news, sometimes I have to remind myself that lots of other countries also go to shit from time to time, it just doesn't get reported on as much. We get a massively disproportionate amount of reporting from the US as a result of how the English-speaking internet works.
In fact even writing this I just noticed the sidebar's description of the community I'm posting in, guess I should probably just block it (no offence).
It’s funny that they clearly aren’t considering that religions other than theirs also exist. That’s the whole point of the Separation of Church and State. Your arbitrary religious views have no place in government or governance or public spaces… because others have other beliefs, many of which likely stand in stark contrast to yours, and the permutations are endless. Leaving your religious biases out of public life allows us all to coexist.
But lets ignore that and see what happens. Looking forward to The Satanic Temple having a presence in all public schools. Maybe muslims can get the Five Pillars and Buddhists can get the Noble Truths… and we’re just getting started.
He continued: “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States… And when you have a program that’s open to all comers except religion… that seems like rank discrimination against religion.”
No, you stupid cunt. Religious institutions are special snowflakes that enjoy tax-exempt status and steal billions of dollars from this country by existing. Now you want to give them billions more on top of it. Fuck you Brett Kavanaugh you treasonous piece of shit.
