http://www.thejesusmyth.com/the-workplace-religious-freedom-act.htmThe situations that this article describe are definetely frightening and not okay. I agree with him entirely- this is not the America that I want to be living in either if people can use their religion as an excuse to not aid people in need. The workers of our country should have their religion respected, of course, but the bottom line of the situation is that people do have the freedom to believe what they want to in our country- but it should not be at the expense of the people who have different beliefs. As long as your religion is not infringing on the health and safety of others, then practice it as you wish, but when you are a police officer who is against abortion so does not protect an abortion clinic when it is in danger, you are not doing your job; if no one is forcing you to change your beliefs- and no one can do that in America- then you not use your religion as an excuse to not do your job.
