I would prefer the government was completely indifferent to religious beliefs. Because any belief can be construed as religious if you’re willing to take the position that religion is stupid and you don’t care about optics.

So yeah, I would prefer beliefs not garner you special privileges

[TheCrownedFox]

What special privileges are being garnered? The topsy-turvy world of the religious person existing as the exception rather than the rule is quite odd to me. But regardless, in the USA the religious exemption policy is incredibly diverse and welcoming, you are correct on that. You do not even need to communicate with your God in expressible ways to other people. What should be the limit on someone's divine communication and the restrictions upon the government they live under?

The exemption

> What should be the limit on someone's divine communication and the restrictions upon the government they live under?

None. But your definition of divine communication should not override otherwise unrelated rules.

[TheCrownedFox]

I would posit that the special privilege has been given to the non-religious, in that they have been able to openly discriminate against religious people in violation of existing laws.

I would suggest looking into the EEOC regulations mentioned by someone else in this thread and Title VII of the 1964 civil rights act.

[oneoff786]

By posting that you have discriminated against my religious beliefs. So you’re just as bad as an offender. So it’s really a moot point.

[TheCrownedFox]

Is it your position then that it's either your personal belief or a divine communication from your God that the government should be able to discriminate based on religious beliefs, against existing human rights legislation?

[oneoff786]

I think this is not worth engaging in any further. I don’t respect your perspectives. I’ll leave it at that.
