The top European Union court ruled on Tuesday that public authorities in member states can prohibit employees from wearing signs of religious belief, such as an Islamic head scarf, in the latest decision on an issue that has divided Europe for years.

The case came to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) after an employee of the eastern Belgian municipality of Ans was told she could not wear an Islamic head scarf at work.

    Religion is comic con with fans that kill each other regularly.

    Label every instance of hate speech, and fantasy magic as primitive nonsense in a way that is obvious to the dumbest of people.

    Like, “everyone in this era was illiterate and uneducated so 5k people present was 5k idiots” “drug use was prevalent” “mental health issues like schizophrenia and seizures were demon position because of ignorance and were used as parlor tricks to convince idiots con artists were magic” “religion was not separate from state in ancient times and the political struggles and propaganda are obvious”

    There are so many aspects that people only believe because it was taught as toddlers when everyone is a gullible idiot. The vast majority of people only follow it because of the social network isolation and inability to connect with people in an open and trusting way outside of this context. Fighting the symptoms of religion is nonsense. Educate to remove the duality of “magic is real in religion” and create more physical community connectivity to break down entrenched social network isolation.

      I hope we as a species get past the irrationality of religion, some day, or at least toss the regressive ones in the bin alongside all the other mythologies of the past.

      Speaking of Comic-Con, there was a guy proselytizing in the middle of an intersection this summer at SDCC

      I kinda stopped reading after that first line.
