Religious Freedom Under Fire

[niceatheist]

Yes, the site is hardly impartial but the fact is a lot of folks are getting their news from places like this.

In this case, the story as reported on this site was at least in part fabrication. This isn’t an issue of bias, but essentially inventing aspects of the story out of thin air. The actual ruling makes it very clear why the man was fired, and there was certainly no impinging on his religious freedoms.

Just look at what went on in the NFL this weekend. The same people saying this coach can’t pray are the same ones defending the right of these players to act out on the field.

So this answers the questions put to you earlier…

Have you even read the ruling?

… with a big NOPE.

What’s truly ironic are the epithets towards team unity.

Just look at what went on in the NFL this weekend. The same people saying this coach can’t pray are the same ones defending the right of these players to act out on the field.

I think your comments are failing to address the important difference between the NFL and this guy. The NFL is a private organization vs a public employee.

The first amendment prohibits the congress from establishing or sponsoring a particular religion, however this has widely been understood to be government in general. Being that he was on duty as a governmental employee this rule applied. Anyway how often have you see teams, especially public university football teams, pray in the locker room before a game. Would you honestly feel comfortable about this it was Islam?
