CFI is filing a friend-of-the-court brief with the Supreme Court to tell them that employers must not be allowed to impose their religious beliefs on their workers. From our press release: Allowing employers such as Hobby Lobby to use their owners’ religious beliefs as a means of denying employees contraceptive coverage would violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, according to the secular humanist organization the Center for Inquiry (CFI). In an amicus brief to be filed today with the Supreme Court, CFI argues that such an exception would unfairly place a significant burden on employees, making their health coverage dependent on the religious beliefs of their employer. “We want to make clear to the justices that the people who work for these businesses have a legal right to this coverage. Trampling on those rights is a blatant imposition of one person’s religious beliefs on others. It’s simply not right, and it’s certainly not constitutional.” Read the brief itself here: centerforinquiry.net/uploads/attachments/CFI_Amicus_Sebelius_HobbyLobby.pdf
