When Anything Is “a Religion,” Then...?


Mark Steyn:

An employment tribunal in Britain has ruled that a belief in public service broadcasting is equivalent to religious faith...
Only following precedent...
Two years ago, a tribunal found that company executive Tim Nicholson, a firm believer in climate change, was wrongly dismissed after objecting to his company’s use of flights and cars.

That case set a precedent and, this year, animal rights activist Joe Hashman successfully argued that he was wrongly sacked from his garden centre job after his activities were discovered.
Steyn:
If you look at these decisions in toto — from "climate change” to "public service broadcasting” — we are about two judges away from having the entire program of leftist conventional wisdom ruled a state church.
You mean it isn’t, already?
