RECIPROCITY CUTS BOTH WAYS

—“Employers need to grant you off for religious holidays if they think their beliefs are sincere and genuine. So what happens if an employer doubts your religiosity when asking off Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, because you, for instance, don’t keep kosher?”–Ashley Rae Goldenberg @Communism_Kills

Nope. If you want to burn personal time instead of working, please do but don’t ask employers to pay for your choice, or the loss of the work you should be providing. We can all think of excuses why we’re special. Sincerity isn’t testable, and isn’t meaningful.

I didn’t miss anything. The only Christian holiday is Christmas, and even then, only because it is so familially and commercially influential. All other holidays are secular. If we restored Christian holidays we’d have at least 35.

There are no exclusively religious work holidays.
