Could a Christian 7th Day Adventist Country Clerk demand the Clerk’s Office be closed from sundown Friday through sundown Saturday?
It would be her religious beliefs.
Depending on what time sundown occurs, most clerks offices already are closed during those hours.
There are laws about accommodating reasonable religious requests, so if an office where open the clerk could certainly ask not to work those hours. Just as in this case, she is asking to not sign the licenses, a reasonable accommodation.
Nice strawman though.
Perhaps more closely related. Could a clerk of the Catholic faith choose to not provide a license to someone who has been divorced, as that would be promoting adultery?
