What's stopping a Texas A&M tranny from declaring themselves a Hellenic polytheist and suing the university for religious discrimination over the 2 genders no Plato rule?Honestly why haven't more pagan/polytheist and native groups sued over this shit? It seems like a great backdoor for queers post all of these religious liberty rulings
>>43621061You cant ban talking about queers, homosexuality, bisexuality and gender without banning the hellenic faith
"Freedom of religion" is not meant to protect pagans, it's meant to reduce sectarian conflicts among certain kinds of Semite religions
>>43621061The establishment clause. You can't force public institutions to espouse your religion.
>>43621091It doesn't just cover abrahamics and if they want it to work that way the supreme habe to throw out religious liberty for everyone but Christians
>>43621149Well thats exactly what the feds and Texas are attempting by jamming in the Christian definition of sex and gender as defined by Genesis bullshit. The reason the banned Plato was for discussing Hellenic views on genesis and creation
>>43621196No the law is written entirely in secular terms.
>>43621370It doesn't matter if it impedes people practicing their faith.Those anti discrimation laws and anti conversion therapy were all written secularly and the supremes struck them all down so Christians can act out their faith even if it effects others
>>43621407>It doesn't matter if it impedes people practicing their faith.Correct. The texas law only regulates schools not private conduct.
>>43621091Yes expanding it to include Indians, Hindoos, Sikhs and Moslems was a mistake.
>>43621149religious freedom is a lie its like the model T rule>you can have any color you want as long as its black>you can worship any god you want as long as its the god of israel
>>43621576Eh, Atheists have been succesful in stopping such things aschool prayer, monuments to the 10 commandments and teaching creationism.
>>43621529>>43621529Student suddenly cant write about the faith or philosophy of their religion because Christians decided gender was icky somehow not discrimation?State regulates the school and forces behavior on the students, so as long as there is a middle man its not discrimation?This sounds like some bullshit
>>43621091The intent behind laws, even in the rare case there is a singular one, have surprisingly little to do with their texts and effects
>>43621669I think a lot of the atheist movements and the Satanic Temple ran out of steam during the 2010s and have been basically dead during the 2020s. I genuinely believe polytheism is the way forward especially since the supremes have already ruled the courts cant decide if you actually believe what you believe (this is why Christians are allowed to make up beliefs)
>>43621805They are allowed to judge whether you believe it ("sincerely held belief"), but not the theological correctness of the belief. But it's pretty hard to prove a belief isn't genuine in practice unless they admit lying.
>>43621805Wasn’t the Baphomet statue in the Iowa Capitol just a couple years ago?
>>43621924>>43621924They've had those going for 20 years, its more representative of existing infrastructure than new groundPlus they are busy infighting>>43621858AgreedIts why every hate group is registered as a non profit, charity or religious organization
has anyone tried this yet ..
>>43621061Common decency
>>43622904Not yet, thats why I brought it up it seems like we are ripe for new cases based off the new rulings like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_v._Taylorhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiles_v._SalazarAnd a few other casesWe need to start throwing their rulings back in their faces and punching holes in them
>>43623056Sorry forgot to finish my thought, since 2020 the supremes have been pushing harder and harder into religious liberty trumping all other rights including the right to not be discrimated against. Religious liberty > all other constitutional rights so says the Roberts courtIs it a longshot, yeah but it will waste their time, money and make institutions like Texas universities think twice. Just atart looking up all the Roberts courts religious liberty rulings they are ripe for abuse as planned however they haven't thought at all about non abrahamics using these laws
>>43621149don't ever go to law school
>>43623056>>43623112Right a "my kids being taught biological gender essentialism violates our religious beliefs" claim might be doable under Mahmoud. It's a harder in the university context as they aren't compulsory education.
>>43623277Yeah but they put a complete block speaking or writing about gender and LGBTQ issues this is viewpoint discrimation, religious discrimation and probably more things in the context of a polytheism. Note this would not prevent discussing any part of Abrahamism (sans eunuch policy) and forces Genesis/biological essentialism on everyone when it comes to writing
