The Biden administration said existing religious protections are sufficient. But mail carrier Gerald Groff said he shouldn't have to deliver packages on Sunday.

    As a Satanist, I’ll enjoy using this.

      As a Christian, I fully support you being able to take off Wednesdays from work. Or whenever the heck your day of rest is.

    The article is behind a paywall so I can’t read it all. Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused? Religions are not formally defined because that’d open a whole another can of worms. Can someone claim rummaging through a cash register - their religious ritual?

      Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused?

      From the article:

      the court clarified Thursday that an undue hardship is “shown when a burden is substantial in the overall context of an employer’s business.”

      Sounds like it doesn’t matter how much other employees are burdened, just the business overall. That said, yes, the ruling seems to have lots of potential for abuse.

      It has the potential to be abused but well see. The case was about a postal worker who was being forced to work on Sundays, against his religous beliefs supposedly. I kinda feel his claim as I would imagine he wasn’t forced to work on Sundays prior so doing this is a change in his job description.

    More and more it seems like to have rights you need to either form a corporation or a religion. 🥲
