    I despise AI, however, religious exceptions for work are stupid.

    Go to work for your church/mosque/temple if it’s that important for you.

    If you’re a Christian, live like a bird in the field, like Jesus says. Go pick through the garbage can and be content in your righteousness. You’re reward isn’t earthly, but in Heaven, right?

      I’m not religious but I feel like people should have a right to take their annual leave for their religious holidays, yeah?

        People should be able to take annual leave for whatever they want, provided contractual agreements and sufficient advance notice. I don’t understand how any of it needs to do with religion.

          Ok well say your company has ten people. One of them is a purpleite and every year the religion celebrates the merging of red and blue, every year - and it coincides with the superbowl. Seven of the ten people want to take that as a long weekend to watch the game. The company can handle this… but oh no! wait, two of the remaining employees are related and share a mother who has people coming after her for personal reasons. She wants to send her kids to somewhere safe so she sends them to west philly. It turns out that’s where the merging happens so the three of them can drive over together. Meanwhile two people have to cancel their superbowl plans to accommodate the purplite. The two related employees get to live safely with their mother’s sister and her husbandi think that this is fine, it sucks for the superbowl crew but that’s not as important as someone’s religion or someone’s family situation. I think if you read this and look in the mirror you will see it all with a fresh understanding.
