It should be mandatory for S.C.Justices,judges and attorneys to take a four year course
on the history of religion,bible and the koran.Iam sure they would conclude that religion
has little value in society.There would be no such thing as religious accommodation(lawsuits)
because such values are based on someone's personal belief.
I agree. The religions of the world are basically lying to their members. I know I was manipulated and maneuvered through the Bible by the JW religion. As a kid you don't have the option of refusing your parent's chosen religion.
Religion is legalized fraud. Once you step outside of the confines of the religion you were born into and take a broader view, it all crumbles.
Forcing anyone to do or not do something will accomplish nothing but make the enforcer fall within the same tyrannical structure that the world's organized religions display.
Communist/leftist countries have tried, for almost a century now, to eliminate religion from it's lands. Although they have succeeded to certain extents in doing so, I doubt you would hardly find those places to be the utopias of the planet. Reason being is that ultimately, we must respect human conscience.
For whatever reason one might believe, whether through evolutionary process or because there is indeed a God that created us that way, we humans have displayed an innate necessity for spirituality, a need to connect to a greater good, usually done through worship of our believed deity. We cannot eliminate this through mandate. History has proven it.
Patience and love is key, not Tyranny.

I don't know about "spiritualty" per se...

I think you may be surprised how much they do know. Most judges have studied philosophy at an advanced level.... and having done so would find it practically impossible to take the basic premises of, certainly the judaeo-Christianity of the bible, seriously.
Islam is a little trickier as Muslim theologians tend to dissolve arguments from the problem of evil straight away, which together with free will is the first hurdle for a thiest to jump to achieve internal consistency in their belief system.
Patience and love is key, not Tyranny.
Agreed. Which is precisely why anyone who has considered the situation at all deeply wouldn't advocate laws imposing freedom from religion.
We will get there...to the first two I would add education also!
What Diogenesister said.
People in the legal profession tend to be very educated, and the more educated one becomes, the easier one finds deconstructing religious belief.
