Can you imagine the uproar, the rending of garments and the gnashing of teeth that would ensue were an Atheist or a Buddhist or a Muslim business owner to deny someone employment based on the fact they had not proven their bona fides in the business owner's chosen religious idolatry sufficiently enough for the owner's satisfaction??
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed suit against a Tulsa lighting store charging that the company required prospective workers to be Christian, the Tulsa World reports.
The EEOC claims that when Edward Wolfe applied to be a supervisor at Voss Lighting's Tulsa store in 2011, two local managers made numerous inquires "both subtle and overt" about his religious activity and beliefs.
He was allegedly asked to identify churches he had attended for several years, whether he was "saved" and whether he would have a problem coming to work early to attend Bible study, the newspaper reports.
In one alleged conversation, the EECO charges, Wolfe was told that while most Voss employees were Southern Baptists, that would not be required of him, as long as he was a "born-again" Christian.

These people are certifiably insane and they are, without a doubt, the biggest impediment to social and economic progress in this country for ALL AMERICANS.
Hopefully, some day, a majority of Americans will come to that realization and unite to shove these medieval thinking boors to the sidelines and get America back on the path to national sanity.
