How do you draw a line between religion (protected class) and other ideologies/oragnizations/beliefs that you don't want protection for? Where do, eg Scientologists, Pastafarians, and cult members fit? Is it right to be able to exclude Islamists (political ideology) despite them being Muslims (religion)?
I'm interested in what you believe, not what the law says. I think you're using appeal to the law as a way of avoiding having to defend your stated beliefs. If you don't understand what you believe or why, then it's a good chance to think about it enough to make a cohesive statement. Maybe your belief is simply "whatever the law says, I agree". That's fine but also the end of any productive attempt to work out what's right and wrong.
And surely the state is never one or two elections from redrawing those lines to include you right? That would be impossible right? You have all the “correct” ideas... and I’m sure those KKK spectres don’t think the same damn thing.
You’re right; let’s not be good, just, or ethical to anyone the state doesn’t force us to. ESP when their only crime is thinking the wrong thing. That’s a really good system that would surely never bite the wrong people in the ass.
