He's trying to take away our Freedom of Religion by NOT allowing “religious” exceptions.

How about a different, equally undesirable, interpretation--He wants to unionize religious employees, too. In this case, he wants to extend government labor "protections" (as in "protection racket") to someone formerly considered an exempt worker.

"But if the administration’s claim is approved, government-appointed judges “could impose ministers on churches against their will,” said Luke Goodrich, a legal council at the Becket Fund, a religious-liberties group."

The real targets here are threefold:

(1) forcing churches and synagogues, and their related institutions (religious schools, missions, social services, etc.) to hire or promote people who do not reflect that religious group's standards, values and beliefs

(2) Unionization of employees of faith-based groups,and having the liberal-left ideology control them through the unions;

(3) Regulatory litigation which can be turned into nonstop aggressive lawfare ahgainst every religious institution,---this gives the EEOC and other government despots the power to bankrupt any church-related group they wish to destroy.

I hope this will finally, finally moibilize the churches and synangogues to mobilize and fight back against Obamunism.

If it does, it will, paradoxically, be a good thing in the end

Oremus.
