Again give me some legal jurisprudence showing that they’d ban a religion entirely. I am seeing evidence of favoring Christianity but that’s different than allowing states to outright ban a religion.

You may recall a discussion I had here with a Muslim who Mr. Johnson has now removed. He was concerned about a mosque in North Platte being unable to expand its parking lot on its own land due to interference by the city council.

So I went researching that for him, and over four years the city council tried to use zoning laws to prevent the mosque from expanding the lot. Locals were concerned about traffic (read Muslims).

It was a harassment campaign against the mosque which ended in favour of the mosque, but took four years to resolve. Federal law is clear you cannot use zoning laws against any house of worship, and the city government simply did not care.

Yes they lost. They cost the mosque and the taxpayers millions between them, simply to enforce a restriction on their parking lot (and by extension their religion).

The point of all these “religious freedom” cases is not that they all seem fruitless. The point is harassment, and the brass ring that one gets through.

I notice you haven’t addressed the idea that corporations have religions they can impose on their workers yet.
