There Is No Constitutional Right to Satanism

[EvilCat Breath]

Here is your problem. From your link,

The Supreme Court suggested that, when determining whether a non-traditional religion has First Amendment protection, we should ask whether “the claimed belief occup[ies] the same place in the life of the objector as an orthodox belief in God holds in the life of one clearly qualified for exemption.”

What does a belief in God have to do with it. I mean first, let's get something clear. The founders, almost to the person, were not religious. They were deists. They believed in God, a God that set it and forgot it. The first Constitutional Convention had one member of the cloth. The second, not a one. Jefferson famously reinterpreted the bible, removed all the "red letters". He studied the Koran.

I am constantly amazed at conservatives. They have no concept of the long term. The SCOTUS ruled that it is OK for a football coach to gather his team together after a game, in the middle of the field, and pray to God. Fine, then it is also OK for another football coach, in the middle of the field, after a game, to behead a chicken and praise Satan. And hear me, it will come.

Jefferson studied the Koran to better understand the motivation of the Muslim pirates. He was told that the pirates preyed on others because they were commanded by their God to dominate the world. He studied Islam to determine whether or not it was true. Then he destroyed the Barbary pirates.

During Madison, there was a Second Barbary War

What was the reason why the Pirates of the Caribbean were not Muslim yet raided ships?

You should not post when you are this stoned.

Only then was fascism repelled, eh?

As long as there is MAGA, facism is alive and well.

You can't answer, no surprise...They did it fer the booty, same as the Barbary pirates, duh, why do you have to lie about the motive of pirates, oh that's right, you right-wing echo chamber weasels have a thing about hating on Islam and Muslim people...You were uninformed to know that Jefferson did not defeat the Barbary Pirates and destroy them, as Madison had to fight them again in a second war.
Are you stoned or what!?

You are so convoluted that there is no train of thought to follow.

I am sure one day you might get more than one train of thought. I highly doubt it, but there is always hope.

You and her are both a one-trick pony. Do you still do the trick with a rope?

Well yes there is. The 1st Amendment allows for unrestricted worship of any Deity you choose as long as nobody is imprisoned, assaulted or ritually killed.

And the First implies that any individual may be agnostic and free of any organized religion.

You are free to practice or not practice a religion, you have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

If I'm not free from religion, where does it say that? What in the document suggests I am not free from religion?

That doesn't mean that religion does not exist, it means only that I have no obligation to practice religion.

 

[Concerned American]

The article disagrees with you:

There was an uproar last week when a school district in my neck of the woods approved an “after school Satan club.” After proper chaos ensued, the school district did the right thing and reconsidered, deciding they should not approve a club for children sponsored by the Satanic Temple after all.

The same thing would have and HAS happened to Christian clubs. Public schools cannot advocate for any particular religion. Case in point, the recent LA supreme court ruling regarding the 10 commandments being posted in a school.

I think this is very clear to most thinking people.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Yes, "thinking people" is the essential part.

" Controverting States Of Deceitful Agency "

* Proselytizing Sectarians Want Religious Education Funded By Taxpayers For Accelerated Indoctrination *

That doesn't make the religion itself illegal, just an act committed in its name.

The position that government is not authorized to determine whether classroom instruction is sectarian , or not , is a ruse .

The theistic socialists and theistic communists inundated the us with illegal migrants by being tithed from a government gravy train and now they want their madrassa and parochial schools funded by taxpayers , as do traitors against us 1st amendment , which will result in sectarian segregation .

The fundamentalists zealots and imbeciles of scotus have handed the head of etas unis over to sectarian supremacists through sedition in carson vs. makin ( 2022 ) - . Are Us States Prohibited From Complying With Us 1st Amendment By Us 10th Amendment ? .

Us 1st amendment clause against respecting establishment of religion requires that public contracts for products or services maintain non sectarian standards , while allowing provision for non sectarian products or services by sectarians satisfies the free expression of religion clause .


* Illegitimate Aggression Against Independence Of The Individual Not For Us Republic *

There is not a difference between edicts and tenets of creed and a religion , and there is not an exception in US 1st amendment for a religion with edicts or tenets of creed to implement violence .

It is unclear whether satanism includes edicts or tenets of creed for violence within its religion .

The sectarian supremacy of fictional ishmaelism includes edicts and tenets of creed for violence by doctrine , and its adherents promote populism for democracy as tyranny by collective majority against independence of the individual , against which all are entitled to self defense that includes not extending an opportunity for citizenship to curtail access to the voting booth .

If I have no right to be free from religion, which religion do you approve of as our state religion?

 

[Papageorgio]

If I'm not free from religion, where does it say that? What in the document suggests I am not free from religion?

That doesn't mean that religion does not exist, it means only that I have no obligation to practice religion.

Then we agree.
