All i asked was how can this be legal,

The civil rights act seems quite clear.

Someone in Seattle should go get turned away and sue.

This crap needs to be stopped yesterday

It's not nearly as clear as you're making out. Just as a starting point, you are not being discriminated against because of your religion itself -- which is always illegal -- but rather for certain behaviors that are barred by a policy that is applied equally to every one. Those behaviors may be dictated by your religion, That is not always illegal, and there are plenty of cases saying that. For example, lets say someone's religion forbids them from bathing, and they have tremendous body odor as a result. Should a restaurant be permitted to deny them admission, or an employer require them to eliminate that smell as a condition of being employed? Of course, and the law agrees.

Or lets say you have a religion where intravenous injections of heroin are part of the religion. Can the feds still make possession /use of heroin illegal? Of course! Same with sex with minors, or any other behavior associated with a religious belief that is part of a facially-neutral policy that has a reasonable, legitimate purpose.

Any and all “civil rights” laws are written & enforced one way and one way only. That is the way the wind is blowing in Washinton,the District of Corruption. Civil Rights, HIPPA., Privacy laws all are written to be a club to be held over some societal groups’ heads like a cudgel
