You've overlooked prohibitions on religious discrimination in public accommodations [1].

- Manuel_D 2y agoReddit is not a place of public accommodation. It's a private web company. And furthermore, Reddit isn't the one doing the banning. It's Reddit users that are blocking members from their subreddit. The rest of Reddit is free to be browsed by said users. If I create a Google chat group, and I only invite my church members to said group is Google violating anti-discrimination laws? No. ~~You're~~ the commenter 3 layers above is trying to interpret anti-discrimination laws to cover the actions of users of a service, no the service itself.
- tzs 2y ago> You're trying to interpret anti-discrimination laws to cover the actions of users of a service, no the service itself You are failing to take into account context. My comment had nothing whatsoever to do with anything about Reddit. My comment is responding to a comment that asserted that the only laws regarding religious discrimination are for employers potentially discriminating against employees. I provided an example of a law prohibiting religious discrimination in something other than employment.
