I live in washington state.. there was a football coach here who was fired from his job for leading prayer services with his players, after games.. the coach, backed by religious zealots, argued his 1st amendment free speech rights were being taken from him.. he lost his case.. the court said the same 1st amendment said the public institution he worked for was forbidden from promoting one religion...

Here in Australia we have just experienced, sadly, just a situation like that with Rugby League Player, Israel Folau preaching HIS message of " Burning in Hell awaiting every Drunk, Fornicator, Gay, Lesbian, etc, etc, and getting an UNDISCLOSED Settlement for, what he termed as Wrongful Dismissal" breaching his contract with the NRL by preaching and attacking the Drunks, etc, etc.
Later he also stated that " The Bushfires people are experiencing throughout Australia "ARE the result of God being angry with Australia and Australians for legalizing same sex marriages and the like."
The Code of Conduct in his contract clearly states that he " Shall NOT use his position and status as a Player to proselytize his own personal beliefs or opinions publicly."
Yet he HAS gotten away with and WILL receive, more than likely, a HUGE monetary settlement, IS this Religious Freedoms gone over the edge or what?

Theres alot of that happening, violation of the first amendment, the separation of church and state, in schools, city property, state officials, judges.ect.

But, they would be shitting bricks if a Muslim was pushing his beliefs on them.

Welcome to millennia of human history. Sad and hypocritical.

I too...have a problem with that! Back when I was part of the religious scene, I never felt that it was my right to push what I believed onto others! These ‘people’ believe that we will lack morals and ethics, if we don’t bow to a god that can surely punish us, if we fail to believe or deny his existence!

‍ Sometimes my home state shames me....

But I thought JHVH was a Longhorns fan.

The only problem is that it is not OK. Maybe we can end up suing god if a kid dies over a sports injury. WTF?

NO IT IS NOT!!!!!!!

Yes, then if the kids get traumatic brain injuries they can blame it on god(s) will!!!

LOL!!!

#ditchmitch has stacked the courts with so many conservatives we will lose ground for decades to come.

They argue that its a "freedom of religion" kind of thing. But, they would suddenly change their minds if you said "ok then" and started pushing Baphomet on them!

It's not remotely "okay".
Both the coach and the Attorney General need to lose their jobs over this one.

People really need to start losing their jobs over this kind of shit.
