Are you honestly trying to tell me that Freedom of Religion or a company taking away the Freedom of Religion is lawful??? Seems to be an awful lot of court cases protecting religious expression in the workplace.

Once again you are so concerned about the protection of one citizen and not the other. You must be one of those special rights folks.

"State Action Doctrine," my friend.

Additionally, there's the plain meaning of the Constitution. "Congress shall make no law..." The First Amendment does NOT say "A company shall make no policy..."

Yep.

Morally, and under the intent of the Founders - I don't have to hire Catholics (actually the people I weed out are leftists... but I'm using another example).

And yes, on my property, in my house, in my car, or in my business I can tell you to shut up, and you don't have any choice but to do it or leave/quit/walk.

First ammendment puts restrictions on what government can do. It says nothing about corporations. One doesnt have a constitutional right to freedom of religion at your place of business unless you own the business.
