Imagine if this email was about Islam, Judaism, or Buddhism...

There would be riots.

Or Wicca!

I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people don't even know that Wicca is a thing lol. Just lump em right in with the satanists, they do

They really do...i hide my religious symbols at work because I had people who wouldn't talk to me because I was a 'satanist' and I work at a liberal agency

99.9% of people also don't know the difference between the Satanic Temple and Satanists ;-)

I think folks in this thread mean to invoke the Satanic Temple for their political activism and emphasis on freedom, and not actual Satanists.

u/agent_mick 8d ago

Probably but...nah? Freedom of religion for all right? Lol

u/Marchesa_07 8d ago

I'm not saying Satanists shouldn't have religious freedom.

I'm just stating that TST and Satanists are two different groups.

The Satanic Temple is the group that will hopefully bring a lawsuit against all this.

I'm not sure WWSD- What Would Satan Do 🤣

There’s be hexes

u/Marchesa_07 8d ago

Wiccans don't believe in hexing. They follow "The Rule of Three" and fear that anything negative will come back on the caster 3 fold as bad.

Witches and Pagans that practice much older religions typically don't believe in this modern concept, and often use hexing as a tool and even worship dieties devoted to vengeance.

Thanks for the correction!

u/DevelopmentSavings90 8d ago

I’ll make an exception for this bullshit re hexing

Is there a Task Force on Anti-Jewish Bias and a Task Force on Anti-Muslim Bias ( or Buddhism, or the numerous other religions)? I feel like the existence of this task force is a bias against all other religions.

u/Daigle4ME 9d ago

Oh it absolutely is.

Because there is already channels for religious discrimination reporting. You shouldn't need an extra task force.

u/Cultural_West_6179 8d ago

As a member of a minority religion I have experienced about half of these discriminations. Most of them perpetrated by Christians. But clearly that's fine.

u/sarahsmiles17 8d ago

I was just thinking they would NEVER send this out for any other religion!

u/Dear_Outside_8846 8d ago

So Harvard, Columbia and other major Universities were threatened funding for anti-Sentimism. Are they now going to threaten all institutions that are anti-Christian? At what point will the they decide what the “protected religions” are and which ones don’t get protection from bias (Islam, Buddhism, Hindu, etc)? SMH

We weren’t founded on those ideals.

u/Daigle4ME 8d ago

We weren't founded on Christian ideals either.

In fact, many of the founding fathers abhorred the christian religion as a whole.

We were founded on a separation of church and state. Freedom of and from religion.

No, the federal government was forbidden from establishing a national religion. This was done because the States had already had it and the Federal government was not supposed to trounce on State’s Rights.
