This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Then choose your religion based on how many days off it gets you.

I can make a new one that has a holiday every day of the year at that point.

That aside, pretending to be part of a religion for personal gain feels rather disrespectful for something that for many people is deeply personal.

Sure. Then if nobody hires you, it's not religious discrimination - they're actually respecting your religion's beliefs about never needing to work

If not hiring people based on their religion is allowed, that's in itself religious discrimination. By that same logic indigeneous people in canada should have worse chances of being hired right now because they get extra days off. (And let's face it that might even be happening, even if not officially).

Effectively it'd just mean that companies would prefer hiring atheists that don't get extra days off.

Oh, actually! Some companies do something kinda neat - everyone gets federal holidays as normal, and then in addition to normal PTO you get to choose one non-federal holiday that means a lot to you to take as your no questions asked personal holiday
