Realists have more Religious Rights than Theists |
Religious rights are rights that various nation states recognize as being superior to state laws. Individuals who are members of religions are given exceptions to the law regarding specific religious customs. States try to avoid forcing individuals to be required to do things that the individual considers to be "sinful" or in violation of one's conscience. Many laws have a religious exemption that allows people of specific religions the right to not comply with the law or to have special privileges such as days off of work for religious holidays. Muslims are allowed to wear head scarves. Jehovah's Witnesses can not be compelled to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Religious people have the right to practice their religion.
Religious rights were once thought of as applying only to people who believe in a God. But that isn't the case. Religious rights apply to people of all religions whether or not your religion believes in a deity or not. All religions includes atheist religions like Buddhism and Realism. It doesn't matter what your religion believes or what fictional deities it chooses. In the eyes of the law Jesus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster are equal.
Religious rights are based on the doctrine of the religion that you are a member of. These laws generally do not apply to people who are not members of a religion. The nation states seem to give preference to people who are members of a group as opposed to people who have their own private philosophy. As a member of a religion your religious claim is based on their documented religious laws. So if you are an individual making a claim for a religious right then you need to be a member of a religion that has a written creed that the state can reference that shows that your religious claim is actually supported by the religion that you are a member of.
Our Kernel gives Realists a fuller set of religious rights than that of any other religion.
The Church of Reality has a very rich doctrine for which to draw upon for religious freedom. We are not limited by the words of ancient text that were written by people who lived thousands of years ago. Our Kernel is a modern doctrine that is a dynamic and evolving doctrine that is expanding, fixing it's mistakes, improving, and is able to adjust to a changing world. In the future if cloning technology becomes commonplace then we will have doctrine relating to cloning. You would be hard pressed to find cloning in the Bible. but when the time comes the Kernel will cover it.
Our doctrine is based on the right of the individual to pursue the understanding of reality as it really is and to be part of a community that is friendly to such a pursuit. Our Sacred Missions and our Sacred Principles give us a very broad religious doctrine with a lot of specific religious protections. Our doctrine is far more specific than other religions and details issues in the modern world. It is based on a logical construction so that even if an issue isn't specifically covered it can more easily be logically constructed from existing principles. This is important because a Realist going into a court of law to assert a religious right has far more to work with than other religions. The strength of our Kernel empowers then individual to assert religious rights under law.
