Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, “religious beliefs include theistic beliefs (i.e. those that include a belief in God) as well as non-theistic moral or ethical beliefs as to what is right and wrong which are sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views.” One need not belong to any church or organized religion. Atheists can and do obtain religious exemptions.

This whole thing is just getting weird now. Between Biden's bizarre top up performance, and this “vaccines are from God” performance, to the way vaccines are now objects of ritualized orgiastic performance art among good “progressives” everywhere. I had the misfortune of bumping into two colleagues who I have not seen for 18 months today, both good Biden democrats (they are academics after all) talking excitedly about getting their boosts by hook or by crook. One is a very healthy 50 year old marathon runner whose husband (a good Hollywood progressive) is pressuring her to get boosted before she flies to run in London next week (apparently they are allowing that now). She was hesitant because all of the poor sods in the developing world have not had theirs yet. My only thought was … forget the poor Nigerians, having a heart attack in the middle of your run will sure put a damper on things and is more likely. People, even smart ones, really believe that the forever booster jabs program is a magical illness protector program. They have no idea what it does or how it works, or for that matter the risks of taking the injection every few months.
