Religion is a protected class.
Tricky one isn’t it. Its arguable that religion is a choice and isn’t inherent. But I think religion is an outlier because of historical reasons. The persecution of individuals in states where one religious sect is dominate is well known throughout history. Making the caveat for religious reason maybe preceded any of the modern protected classes and was just grandfathered in but for good reason. Just guessing though. I think its definitely an outlier though.
Would you tell people being persecuted for their religion that they aren’t valid because they have a choice not to believe it?
My over arching belief is you shouldn’t refuse services against anyone who isn’t hurting other people in some way. But also I believe that’s not realistic and there is levels to how comfortable I am hearing when someone is refused service. Refusing because the customer is an asshole, I’m comfortable. Because their political affliation, less comfortable. Because of a protected class not comfortable. Because of religious beliefs? Somewhere between political beliefs and inherent characteristics
