How 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.
