"A federal judge in West Virginia has ruled that the state corrections agency can’t force an incarcerated atheist and secular humanist to participate in religiously-affiliated programming to be eligible for #parole.

On the one hand, this is an egregious violation of the #EstablishmentClause. On the other hand, today's #SCOTUS majority doesn't like the establishment clause.
That plus #CeremonialDeism.

What happened to the the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution which calls for the "separation of church & state" which has been interpreted to keep public schools secular and to prevent the use of public funds to support religious eduction?

This is a long settled bedrock of American law, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Roberts court overturned this foundational, Constitutional principle.

C'mon y'all. The Supreme Court has already ruled that this is unconstitutional.

Please allow me an Easter rant. I am a New York resident, but I am currently sitting in New Jersey. In honor of the Christian religious holiday today, the govt of NY bars me from wagering on horses anywhere in the world. Complete f*ckjob.

Not only does this guy argue that masks violate his religious rights: "A Christian, Joseph claims to practice his faith by 'taking a stance against what he sees and understands to be evil or unlawful,' such as the masking requirement"
He actually claims that #science (or “scienticsm” is a #religion and masking requirements violates the #EstablishmentClause. He obviously hasn't read any recent Est cases...

186 followers · 10 posts · Server mastodon.lawprofs.orgI 100% agree with you that one of the purposes of the #EstablishmentClause is to protect minority religions.
But those interests are not furthered by huge govt Latin crosses. Am Legion
Nor by Christian prayers before town meetings. Greece
Nor by funding religious schools where most of taxpayer $$ goes to Christian schools. And trust me, most (if not all) $ does go to Christians schools. Zelman. Espinoza
