> There’s a big difference between an Orthodox Jew being required to work on Saturday, and someone who just likes college football. You can't just leave me hanging there! What's the big difference? What if that Saturday watching football is the person's passion and the only time of the week they feel happy? Who is a 3rd-party to step in and be the decider of what other peoples' wants and needs and feelings and beliefs are? Surely the default, simplest, easiest, and most just position is to treat everyone the same. > Accommodations that come from deepseated beliefs need to be treated with utmost respect. I don't think they need to at all. Plenty of flat earthers, anti vaxxers, climate denialists, conspiracy theorists have extremely deep seated beliefs to the point of religious fervor. There are also religions or religious people whose beliefs are abhorrent or wrong to others. Why would they or any other belief religious or otherwise entitle them to respect or rights or allowances that nobody else has? Here's how you just completely skirt all that and make it fair and equal for all: give everyone equal rights and protections.
