It's discriminatory against those not granted exceptions.
The fabled separation of church and state was proposed for this exact thing - equal application of the law regardless of religion.
- seanhunter 8y agoIt's not a situation which I personally support, but in the UK (which is the example I gave) there is no separation of church and state. The head of state (the queen) is also the head of the official church, and various religious figures are granted automatic membership of the upper chamber of the legislature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state#United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state... My quick googling (eg http://www.religioustolerance.org/sep_cs_can.htm http://www.religioustolerance.org/sep_cs_can.htm ) says that Canada has no equivalent to the "Establishment Clause" in the US constitution, and also doesn't have a strict separation.
