The SCOTUS Six Only Believe in Religious Freedom for Christians

This Washington Post story mischaracterizes the 6-3 ruling against Damon Landor as a departure from SCOTUS rulings "expanding religious freedoms". Every ruling the story goes on to describe only expanded the ability to Christians to impose their interpretation of their beliefs in public spaces.

The LGBTQ+ books decision hit very close to home because it was filed by parents in the same county where I've lived most of my life, and because of friends and family members who are LGBT. My parents paid out of pocket to send my sister and I to private Christian schools for years because they wanted that type of education for us. I've never understood why these parents chose to sue instead of making the same sacrifices mine did.

Not being able to sue prison officials for the blatant violation of religious freedom adds insult to injury. If your non-Christian faith requires you to wear a beard or grow your hair long, federal incarceration means your rights can be violated without recourse for you. If your non-Christian faith has dietary restrictions or prohibitions, this ruling could conceivably protect federal prison personnel from liability for forcing prisoners to eat food contrary to their religious practice.

Every non-Christian person currently in pre-trial detention can now have their religious freedom violated in these ways without recourse, thanks to 6 unelected Supreme Court justices. Everyone non-Christian illegally detained in an ICE concentration camp could be similarly violated.
