I mean, hypothetically couldn't you just pick any belief structure outside of the top ten and make shit up? I'm a card carrying member of The Satanic Temple (which also puts an emphasis on human worth and social conscience) and I feel like I could swing this.

I've known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it's also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I'm getting old) and other social justice stuff.

Amish or Rastafarian should pass as well.

Oh, good. One of the few religions that isn't predicated on making all non-members lives miserable.

There were already 100 reasons why the Unitarians are where it’s at.

But I really don’t think this is reason 101. All we have here is someone who asked their employer for this and was fortunate enough to have it granted.

That means nothing for anyone else. There is not some national law that all Unitarians have this protected right now.

So yeah… you might as well try on grounds that it offends Allah, because you’ll have the same odds.

I've learnt about the UU not that long ago and I'm getting into with much fondness. To me it's one of the only paths if you're a Christian-based perennialist who believes in the existence of God and follows the teachings of the prophet Jesus but rejects the bible. Basically it's only Unitarians or non-denominational Chrisians.

Join the Satanic Temple or some Humanist org or something. For some reason people lose their minds if your religion is just "none", but are at least more ok with it being something, even if the something had only one tenet and that was "none".

I’m an atheist who joined a UU church (the religion being discussed in the article) this past January and I’ve loved it, I’m actually not at all surprised this sort of thing is coming out of UU

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

But did you type that on your thinking machine?

I’m pretty sure that in Dune, all computers are banned, not just AI. You can’t even have a ship with a navigation computer.

the golden path

You can be an atheist and a member of a universalist Unitarian church, I am exactly that

or just let people opt out entirely flat out?

Try it. All we have here is someone with a very accommodating employer. It’s not like all Unitarians everywhere now have some court judgment backing them.

Also it usually it's just ok for their approved religions, anything else you are being stubborn

I'm not religious but I feel like people should have a right to take their annual leave for their religious holidays, yeah?

In a country where most states are fire-at-will. You don’t have the cultural integrity to effectively use something like this.

It might help.

You say that like it's a bad thing

At this point, I feel like religion >> blind corporate loyalty. At least religion still pretends to care about people

If you could ban religion, or ban AI, which would you ban?

Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.

I'm somewhat of a transhumanist and even I think generative AI is an abomination. I want the real thing. Artificial sapient life.

why not?
