    If my religion forbids flying in airplanes, that means I shouldn’t become a pilot. And if I do become a pilot, I can’t suddenly start demanding that all the planes I’m in charge of just taxi across the country instead. My religious freedom means that I don’t have to be a pilot and I don’t have to be on a plane. It doesn’t mean that I get to decide how planes work for other people.

    Many such cases of religious people “accidentally” “confusing” the difference between these two scenarios.
