‘A victory for every American’: 5 reactions to Supreme Court’s Groff decision
American Atheists
American Atheists, which had filed an amicus brief along with the Center for Inquiry in opposition to Groff, released a statement denouncing the decision.
"While today's decision doesn't give religious employees carte blanche in the workplace, it certainly continues this Court's recent practice of expanding loopholes, accommodations, and 'rights' for the religious while shifting more burdens onto atheists, humanists, and the nonreligious," said Geoffrey T. Blackwell, litigation counsel at American Atheists.
"With the number of nonreligious Americans in the workplace on the rise, the idea that the government can force a business to favor religious employees over their nonreligious coworkers is deeply troubling."
American Atheists President Nick Fish believes the decision is "yet another example of how our legal system is willing to give special treatment to one class of people, the religious, at the expense of equality."
