I see the public arena as just that. Simply public. Personal beliefs belong to the individual. Simple.
In order to not trample other people's beliefs I was taught to keep my personal beliefs to myself.
If people have difficulty performing a job, it's not the employers problem. We aren't talking about shared hardships like sick days and maternity leave or vacations. These were hard fought for by unions for all workers regardless of "beliefs".
imo this religious freedom law is designed to tear apart secular civil rights laws by any lunatic who thinks the world revolves only around them.
Kim Davis and this person, iirc a druggist who didn't want to dispense morning after pills. These aren't freedom fighters. They want to exercise their beliefs at others expense. These laws are better suited to theocracies.
