We need to declare all speech religious speech. Politics is religion. One religion currently has the upper hand, and it's dividing people.

What would such a declaration do? Religious speech should be protected as much as any other speech.

Not really. You can't be fired for religion. I wonder what would happen if someone (like Damore) said "I religiously believe that women shouldn't work".

You realize there are entire parts of the planet that operate this way, right?

> You can't be fired for religion

Therein lies the problem. Therein lies the problem. We've politicized religious speak. Who's the arbiter of what constitutes a religion and what religious views are tolerable in the workplace?

Some people want to take the rights of others to impose their preferred world view.

Which religion would that be?

Why don't you make a free speech religion? Has anyone ever tried this?

[umanwizard]

Tried it with what goal? Is there any country where religious speech gets special extra protection?
