They run a LOT of battered womens' shelters.

D, those are for profit entities. Surely there's a difference.

They are huge institutional employers.

And don't call me Shirley.

So if the Constitution protects religious belief can I practice voodoo? Or Zoroastianism? Can I worship Wicca or the Goddess?

But, when you become Zoroastrian, you have to post a pic in your traditional garb

The only time I've been within 10 feet of a nun was when I saw the controversial movie "Cruising" at the theater. A pair of nuns were sitting in front of me. Given today's context and the movie's subject, a pair of priests would have been more fitting.

The nuns got quite upset when they caught my wife reading Freud in geography class. But they generally gave her a hard time all through school, seems to be their teaching style.

Regardless, all the organized religions only exist to perpetuate themselves, teaching what Jesus said is an afterthought.
