Not really following. Are you saying you have a problem with the idiom "God-given"?

  If @ggambetta believes that there are people with influence in society who take the idiom literally then it would be reasonable for @ggambetta to be concerned and to have a problem with the idiom. Perhaps the judge could have used a more precise legal formula to avoid just this kind of concern.

Can't the same be said for people who believe the world is flat? After all they believe it, so their concern about the round world conspiracy has to be reasonable, right? I think there might be a tiny gap in your reasoning.

      The flat earthers don't use their beliefs as a means to force their world view on the rest of us, plenty of god botherers do.

  I do have a problem. It's like the sexist language or the N word. Their just words so nothing to be offended by, right? But they just perpetuate and normalise the concepts. In this case non-sensical religious things.

    There's a pretty big gulf between this and the N word.
