They should drop all of them, because Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago

Hot take: The "no prohibiting the free exercise of religion" rule should be updated to "religion should be practiced free as long as it does not seek to subvert democratic institutions, or infringe other people's human rights". Anything else will lead to the slow and painful death of secularism.

Yeah, we need to crack down on religion because they're oppressing people who want nothing to do with them

Start a church. They're tax exempt. In fact, I don't even think that the IRS is permitted to audit them.

It's on my to-do list. Beyond being tax free, you can go out and solicit donations, you can fundraise in a variety of ways, I'll bet you could get "clergy" passes for parking or any number of conveniences.

You mean that piece of paper Trump wipes his ample ass with?
Sorry, there's a long brown stain covering that amendment now.

Lol that is not how corruption works.

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 12 points 4 days ago

Exactly. Either all known religions have to be part of this list, or none of them.

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 29 points 4 days ago

This restructuring of faith codes, which help identity service members as well as the military in planning for appropriated religious coverage to include them, has now excluded minority faith/worldview groups including Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 23 points 4 days ago

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago

Lmfao very big "you're not quitting, you're fired" energy

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

They did leave "No Religion" as an option, I think that still applies.

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Looking at that list, there are many that I'm not familiar with, but Wicca is definitely a religion, isn't it? Maybe they left "Wicca" in the list and removed specific types of Wicca? It's not completely clear, but anyways, if they completely removed Wicca, then a Wiccan wouldn't have a way to answer.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

There's also "other religion" as an option.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

They'd have to be "Other Religions"

[-] prole 3 points 3 days ago

Troth

That's a new one for me

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

What if they had a social media site? Would it be called troth social?

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 29 points 4 days ago

Ah the Trump covid testing strategy. If you don't look for cases then they will simply not exist.

[-] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Domt ask, don't tell is the hot new strategy for dealing with literally everything.

[-] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Well, I guess my atheist dog tags are a collectors item then eh?
