If you have a problem with there being more than one religion in this country, YOU are in the wrong country.
(pssst... freedom of religion is one of our founding tenants, *ahem* The First Amendment of the Constitution explains this beautifully.)
Try researching the Establishment Clause. and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. This applied at both the federal and the state level.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
READ THE CONSTITUTION. (<-linked here)
Maine's top court will soon decide if psychological harm can affect a custody case if that harm stems from religion
This is an astounding sad situation. Religion covers up some of the worst parts of society.
It is time to get rid of the Free Exercise clause of the 1st Amendment.
In California, withholding a get, or a Jewish divorce, can fit the criteria for domestic violence.
This is why you NEED the separation of Church/State.
The man wouldn’t go through some religious ritual so now the woman thinks she can’t go through with some religious ritual. The court found against the man for not doing the religious ritual (finding it a form of domestic abuse and awarding her full child custody) instead of pointing out to the lady there is nothing preventing her from doing her own.
The State has no rational place making these decisions or even considering one’s religious beliefs in making a civil determination.
Repeal the Free Exercise Clause!
Prayer at the 50-Yard Line: Praise Be.... Satan?
Prayer at the 50-Yard Line: Praise Be…. Satan?
The “Free Exercise Clause” – Literally
A Seattle football team may soon be visited by Satanic rituals on the game field… Yes, really… Why?? In demonstration against the coach’s refusal to stop forcing Christian prayers at the 50-yard line.
The “Free Exercise” Clause (coincidentally punderful) is a Constitutional mandate. Interpreted by Jefferson himself to mean the “separation of church and…

Texas Public School District Posts Pretend Quotes From Reagan, Washington AND The Bible (IMAGES)
When the United States of America was formed, the founders paid special attention to making sure “freedom” was front and center. This includes, but is most certainly not limited to, the freedom of and FROM religion. However, there seems to be a PUBLIC school district in Texas that doesn’t like the fact that the nation wasn’t founded upon any religion, but rather the freedom to live as you choose,…

"Any decision to use contraceptives made by a woman covered under Hobby Lobby's or Conestoga's plan will not be propelled by the Government, it will be the woman's autonomous choice, informed by the physician she consults."
--from Ruth Bader Ginsberg's dissent, Burwell v Hobby Lobby, pg. 23
This is so important. Hobby Lobby has no part in the decision for a woman to take contraceptives. They are not being forced to finance contraceptives; they are merely required by law to give women the option to make their own health decisions. A person can't make a health-based decision when cost is a major issue, which is why the ACA mandates reasonable health coverage. Hobby Lobby is required to provide funds for health coverage for their employees and their dependents, including preventive health coverage. Unless it is against Hobby Lobby's religious beliefs to let a woman make healthcare choices for herself under the care of a physician, then the government is not placing a substantial burden on Hobby Lobby's religious beliefs.
This is assuming, of course, that Hobby Lobby as an entity can have religious beliefs, which to me is outrageous, and to the court is highly questionable at best:
"In a sole proprietorship, the business and its owner are one and the same. By incorporating a business, however, an individual separates herself from the entity and escapes personal responsibility for the entity's obligations. One might ask why the separation should hold only when it serves the interest of those who control the corporation."
--from Ruth Bader Ginsberg's dissent, Burwell v Hobby Lobby, pg.19
But that's a whole 'nother rant.
