I could have given my own sect the preference and made everybody a Presbyterian without any trouble, but that would have been to affront a law of human nature: spiritual wants and instincts are as various in the human family as are physical appetites, complexions, and features, and a man is only at his best, morally, when he is equipped with the religious garment whose color and shape and size most nicely accommodate themselves to the spiritual complexion, angularities, and stature of the individual who wears it.
Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”More about this quote: wist.info/twain-mark/85582/

#GregAbbott sent a letter Friday to the heads of the Houston airport & Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport that said facilities aimed at serving one religious group are discriminatory against everyone else.
Abbott said he has asked the US Dept of Transportation to investigate both airports & warned that his office is “reviewing all grants to any local governmental entities involved in these schemes.”

…Public #wudu stations are also open at places including the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan, LaGuardia Airport in New York & O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
Now, amid rising attacks on #Muslims by #Republican elected officials, #Texas Gov #GregAbbott is making the stations a target.

For years, travelers passing through Texas’s airports have had access to small washing stations for a ritual called #wudu, in which #Muslims clean their hands, arms, head & feet before the 5 daily #prayers.
Such facilities have become more common in states with large #Muslim populations, including #Texas, where travelers & others pop in & out of washing stations at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.#law #WhiteChristianNationalism #Islamophobia #US #Constitution #ReligiousFreedom

#Islamophobic #racist #Texas Gov #GregAbbott takes aim at #Muslim washing stations in airports
Legal experts dispute Abbott’s claims that the ritual washing stations are discriminatory, saying his attack fits a pattern of anti-Muslim actions & rhetoric.#law #discrimination #bigotry #hate #WhiteChristianNationalism #Islamophobia #US #Constitution #ReligiousFreedom

The three women of different (or no) faiths all want the same thing. A recently filed attempt to remove #Christian teachings from #PublicSchools used #StateLaw - not federal - and is awaiting #appeal.
(Christians know they're breaking the law. But they're convinced that we're possessed by #demons, so they don't care. Hard to argue with these people.)

Roger Williams invented religious freedom in America. He got exiled for it. The people who exiled him are back, and they're calling themselves the founders.

Trump's Religious Liberty Commission says it's defending religious freedom, but its final report reads like a roadmap for Christian Nationalism
This agenda threatens the religious freedom of everyone who doesn't share the commission's theology

La Corte d’Appello di Teheran ha confermato le condanne a cinque convertiti al cristianesimo, per un totale di 55 anni di carcere. Le accuse derivano dall’aver organizzato una chiesa domestica e celebrato riti religiosi. Nasser Navard Gol-Tappeh e Joseph Shahbazian restano detenuti.

"#Jews faced government harassment in 69 countries and faced harassment by private individuals, groups, or organizations in 92 countries in 2023, according to research by #PewResearch Center.
The study explores the levels of social hostilities involving #religion in different countries in 2023.
Overall, 55 countries had elevated (high or very high) levels of social hostilities involving religion in 2023, up from 45 the previous year. Countries are rated on two scales: the Government Restrictions Index (GRI), which captures ways that government officials, laws, and policies can impinge on #religiousfreedom; and the #SocialHostilitiesIndex (#SHI), which captures various kinds of harassment and violence by private individuals and nongovernmental organizations that target religious communities."
