Where Do You Stand on Religious Freedom?

This week, two stories about religion in the workplace made news. First, Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk jailed for her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses citing her religious beliefs, was released from jail amid cameras and supporters like Mike Huckabee.  And Charee Stanley, a flight attendant with Express Jet, was suspended from her job for one year for not serving alcohol to passengers, an accommodation to her Muslim faith that the airline had previously agreed to.  “If you intuitively stand with one”, as Brad Hirschfield, president of Clal and co-founder and executive editor of TheWisdomDaily.com, “why don’t you stand with the other just as much since each is looking for accommodation to her religious needs?”
