In so many words, if the boss believes it, you’d best believe it, too.

That’s a tough one for me to swallow.

According to the First Amendment to the American Constitution, everybody was supposed to be able to believe or not believe whatever he or she doggone pleased. And nobody, nowhere could tell them when or where to kneel, pray, bow or shout “hosanna.”

We called that freedom of religion.

It meant if you believed God was telling you to do something, you were free to do it — and free to try to convince the rest of us to do it, too.

On the other hand, we were free to say, “Yer nuts,” and there was nothing you — or anybody else — could do about that ‘cept pray.

Or in Hobby Lobby’s case, go to court.

And the court stood freedom of religion right on its head.

Free exercise of religion has become free imposition of religion — if God tells your boss “be fruitful and multiply,” no birth control for you.
