We tackle the controversial Supreme Court decision, 303 Creative LLC versus Elenis. This case revolves around a Christian graphic designer from Colorado who refuses to provide services to same-sex couples. We unpack the court's ruling, which distorts the First Amendment, and the potential implications for both religious and non-religious individuals. We explore the nuances of the case, including the alleged made-up injury, and the designer's willingness to provide services to LGBT individuals, but not for same-sex weddings.

We continue the conversation by examining how the US Supreme Court has used a historical narrative to permit legislative prayer that is not in line with actual historical events.

In the final part of the episode, we broaden our discussion to religious diversity in the workplace and the potential implications of religious accommodation on employment discrimination. We provide an insightful look at how businesses can exploit loopholes to avoid accommodating religious or LGBT individuals, leading to potentially unfair treatment and discrimination. Tune in to understand how the Supreme Court's recent rulings may impact the rights of business owners and the potential for discrimination in the future.
