I'm confused about what part is against her religion:

  • calling kids by their name?
  • not being a bigot?
  • not making everything about her?

Regardless, we know whose religious rights will be protected by the SCOTUS most high: the one who is imposing her ignorant worldview upon a captive audience. Funny how believing in magic gets you extra rights in this country.

She doesn't have a religion unless you count hate as a religion. She claims to be Christian because they're allowed to say and do whatever they want and can point to a book they've never read as a justification of their hate.

Jesus would smack the shit out of her.

Sure, but Jesus would have smacked the shit out of Paul, too. It's kind of been that way since the beginning of the religion.

Where in the fucking Bible does it defend this kind of shit?

There is none. This is not "religious accommodation"– this is fuckery.
