No, this is a victory for corporate greed digging its claws into
whatever façade of a rationalization it can get within its grasp. Don’t
listen to me, listen to Richard Cizik
of the National Association of Evangelicals: “When anyone can use
religion to claim an exemption on anything, religion loses meaning.
Rather than a personal belief embedded in our souls, faith would become a
set of arbitrary rules any corporation could choose from to skirt the
law.”
Moreover, Cizik warns, this “puts government in charge of deciding
what is or isn’t religion.” That doesn’t sound very free, does it?
If
I were the religious faithful, I would be fairly annoyed at 90 percent
of corporate America chomping at the bit to use my deeply held values as
an excuse for their own misdeeds. Also, while the Bible does not take a
firm position on abortion or when life begins, Jesus is pretty clear on
one point: “You cannot serve both God and money” (Luke 16:13 and
Matthew 6:24).
