A cast-iron case for a secular society

A cast-iron case for a secular society

Nick Cohen The Observer,

Sunday August 3 2008

The old questions about equality and relevance come back with a vengeance in these cases. The courts offer no protection to workers who have no religious reasons for their homophobia. Employers are still free to fire them just as teachers in South Wales are still free to send home girls who want to wear bracelets because they look pretty. However, the law is intervening to stop employers taking the same action against religious workers even though they are unwilling to do their jobs properly.
