The guys a humanist.
I can hear your trilby hat flapping in the wind from all the way over here.
Humanism is not a religion. Talk about stretching a law to its breaking point.
I can see your gears not quite meshing from way over here.
Yes it is.

Also, even if it wasn't it wouldn't matter, legally speaking. The EEOC guarantees protections whether or not an organization has tax exempt status.

I don't agree with this Federal court decision and nor does many other humanists like me.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Alright, so I can wrap my head around this. Your response to being told that no one is "stretching the law" because the law specifically protects this kind of speech is to say "nu uh?"
You're claiming a religious exemption from the law that enables you to claim a religious exemption?
You are clearly confused, cheers!
