(1,129 posts)3. Basically, this poll indicates that those who advocate for the right to discriminate in the name of
"Religious Freedom" believe that their Religious Beliefs are somehow violated by
the fact that a person is black....
or
the fact that a person does not share their same set of beliefs/ religion ....
Or
the fact that a person simply does not meet with their approval...
Religious Freedom seems to be more like
the establishment of a State Religion
in order to to facilitate oppression,
discrimination,
and the implementation of a caste system....

I have no doubt that the next justice they install will be happy to support efforts to make Gorsuch-style "religious freedom" the law of the land.
