Question

Wisconsin Supreme Court is right to limit religious exemption.
The court determined that the groups did not demonstrate they were primarily operated for religious purposes and that the state did not violate their First Amendment rights. “This decision protects Wisconsin workers and resolves vast claims by the religious groups that they must be exempt from laws that apply to nearly all employers,” says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.

FFRF filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case warning that it could have a far-reaching impact for Wisconsin employees. The brief cautioned that a ruling for the Catholic groups would allow any religiously affiliated organization, including hospitals and universities, to become exempt from the unemployment insurance program. During oral argument, Justice Rebecca Dallet cited FFRF’s brief and questioned whether the Catholic groups’ position would extend to religiously affiliated hospitals.
