They should drop all of them, because Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
You mean that piece of paper Trump wipes his ample ass with?
Sorry, there's a long brown stain covering that amendment now.
Hot take: The "no prohibiting the free exercise of religion" rule should be updated to "religion should be practiced free as long as it does not seek to subvert democratic institutions, or infringe other people's human rights". Anything else will lead to the slow and painful death of secularism.
Yeah, we need to crack down on religion because they're oppressing people who want nothing to do with them
Start a church. They're tax exempt. In fact, I don't even think that the IRS is permitted to audit them.
It's on my to-do list. Beyond being tax free, you can go out and solicit donations, you can fundraise in a variety of ways, I'll bet you could get "clergy" passes for parking or any number of conveniences.
Lol that is not how corruption works.
Exactly. Either all known religions have to be part of this list, or none of them.
wow. unitarian universalists. thats more christian than mormans.
That's crazy UUs have like 'proper' churches.
They probably have fewer lawyers though.
This restructuring of faith codes, which help identity service members as well as the military in planning for appropriated religious coverage to include them, has now excluded minority faith/worldview groups including Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans.
Athiests
Minority groups
uh huh
lol how are you going to exclude atheists.
Lmfao very big "you're not quitting, you're fired" energy
They did leave "No Religion" as an option, I think that still applies.
Looking at that list, there are many that I'm not familiar with, but Wicca is definitely a religion, isn't it? Maybe they left "Wicca" in the list and removed specific types of Wicca? It's not completely clear, but anyways, if they completely removed Wicca, then a Wiccan wouldn't have a way to answer.
There's also "other religion" as an option.
They'd have to be "Other Religions"
Troth
That's a new one for me
What if they had a social media site? Would it be called troth social?
What about Dudists and Jedi?
Holy shit I didn't even know there were that many.
Let the lawsuits commence
Please, take my tax money.
Lawsuits are , unfortunately, the only way things get fixed in this country.
We can reduce that even further: money is the only way things get fixed in this country.
Well, I guess my atheist dog tags are a collectors item then eh?
Keep going
