Religious Liberty for Corporations

After corporations got free speech rights with Citizens United, they’re now on their way to getting freedom of religion. With the “Hobby Lobby” case before the Supreme Court, the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care Act may fall and corporations may get the freedom to worship. Corporations are rapidly becoming real, live humans!

The case before the Supreme Court is about a couple of for-profit corporations wanting to foist their religious views on their employees. This is not about an individual human wanting to practice their religion as they see fit, this is about an inanimate corporation wanting to impose specific morals on employees. If corporations get religion, just think of the things they could do with it!

Why stop with your run-of-the-mill religions that don’t like birth control? Let’s dive back into the days of the Aztecs. What if a corporation worshipped like the Aztecs and demanded human sacrifice? (OK, more than they already do demand sacrifice of humans.) I can’t see how this argument will stand up to legal challenge but it’s looking like it may do just that. Enjoy the cartoon, and leave other suggestions for corporate religions in the comments!

1. If this wasn't such so threatening

the cartoon would be funny, but sadly we are in the hands of the SCOTUS - bought and paid for by the very people lobbying them for control of a woman's body and once they have that..................

2. Every time 'Religious Liberty' wins then individual freedoms die

"Claiming that you have “religious freedom” means that your “right” to exercise tenets of your religion comes above the rights of the individual. If this were true, then there’s nothing wrong with the Islamic regime of Iran. People are simply exercising their basic right to express their religion, which includes things such as enslaving women, hanging gay people, and the like."
