I wonder if this/these rulings are the reason that Qatar is trying to buy 10% of American Airlines.

Unclear if they’ll be able to pull this off anyway, but it’s the timing that raises the yellow flag.

“...a closely watched religious rights case involving limits on public funding for churches and other religious entities.”

In no case, should any public funds be spent to support any type of religion. The definition of “religion” is too wide to even comprehend!

We saw the results of Kennedy winning due to a religious connection to the Catholic church. Nuff said!

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

Make your own conclusion. Mind you, this pertains to the federal government only. Something that is forgotten.

Sharia law is unconstitutional. I wonder how they will rule when a case pertaining directly to that comes up.

The Reuters analysis of the Missouri religious freedom case is way off base and reveal the basic ignorance journalists have on religion. There is no conflict between the Establishment Clause and Freedom of Religion in this case. It involves whether a church run daycare is eligible for new material (provided through public grant money) for their playground which is used both by the school and the public. The daycare was in the top group of selected grantees when all criteria was weighed. The only reason they were denied is because of Missouri’s version of the Blaine Amendment. So the question before the court is, can government’s discriminate in their dispersal of government monies solely on the basis of the religious nature of the entity? Clearly a ruling in favor of the church will not establish a state church in Missouri.

A ruling against the church would however mean a continuation of discrimination against religious bodies in states where Blaine amendments are law. This ruling has more to do with school vouchers and private schools receiving money for providing certain services to other students. For example: A public school might not have enough qualified teachers for and after school program for deaf students so a local Catholic school agrees to provide space for those students in their program. The Catholic school receives funding for this service.

when your ‘so-called’ religious rights say you can kill anyone that don’t agree with you or you just kill them because they don’t believe in your ‘so-called’ religion, YOU have no ‘right’ to be in America.
