A weird thing about living under USA is how much religion is privileged. You can have whatever wacky belief based on religion and the state will respect that in many ways.
For example, I was coerced into jury “duty” recently. In order to escape I wound up debating with the prosecutor about the bible. If I find myself debating about the bible, then I’m definitely in some crazy situation. I would have much preferred to explain my resistance in more reasonable, humanitarian terms. The state doesn’t give a shit about your principles, but they’ll respect any religious beliefs. It helps explain why the system is total trash.
(I got out of jury duty btw.)
From what I hear, the magic words are “hey, I’ve learned this cool thing called jury nullification”

shhhh…
If you get on a jury you could save a life. Why get out of it?
Honestly I think we need to use this more. If religion means an org doesn’t have to pay taxes, then my mutual aid organization is a church now. Homeless shelter is a church now. I have a right to peaceful protest? How about my right to hold a sit-down prayer service in the street?
So yeah, I’m all about AI exemption for religion. Looks like I’m about to become extremely devout! C:
