Freedom of religion is mostly obsolete

dimanche 6 juillet 2014 à 14:00

Freedom of religion is mostly obsolete, because most of it is included in freedom of speech and thought.

I am not convinced it is 100% obsolete, because religion includes some practices of worship that people should also have the right to do, within reason (as long as they don't violate others' rights). For instance, the Religious Freedom Restauration Act was adopted so that people wouldn't get fired for their (lawful) religious practices. That's not included in freedom of speech and thought.

However, if the US banned firing people over things irrelevant to their jobs, this aspect of religious freedom would also be superseded.

WildEarth Guardians are suing the US for approving coal mines without taking account of the pollution the mines and the coal will cause. The US government says the US can't afford to interfere with all that coal mining.

In the long term the US can't afford to let the mining continue, but the US government is more concerned with the short term interests of mining companies than the long term interests of the whole country.
