How do you know it's not their sincerely held belief? Lots of people have concerns about the government listening in on their sermons and about dark forces changing holy messages to trick people into doing and believing the wrong things.
- bitlax 7y agoHow do I know that the newly invented religious tenet that the OP doesn't practice doesn't spring from a sincerely held belief?
- sokoloff 7y agoWhat basis do you have that the religious tenet is newly invented? Even if it were, what's the basis to uphold that something newly invented is not a sincerely held belief?
- bitlax 7y agoOP is clearly posing a hypothetical. And courts absolutely look to the amount of time and frequency with which one practices a tenet of their religion as evidence of sincerity. OP might be sincere, but a court would be unlikely to use that as evidence to justify, for example, a wrongful termination claim.
- nkrisc 7y agoThe Supreme Court just needs to decide it's not sincerely held.
