Pence signed it: Add Indiana to the list of states with "religious freedom" laws

[TJ in Oregon]

Question: I'm starting a religion that involves blowing coke off the hoods of police cars in rural bumbkin counties in Indiana.  Does Mike Pence have my back? 

Doubtful. You're not the first one to try that sort of thing. First you would need to be able to convince a court your beliefs are sincerely held, which given your posting history will not be easy. Next even after that you would need to argue there is no compelling government interest in preventing you from doing so, or that the government interest could be alternatively furthered by some more accommodating means. You would not be the first to try and apply the RFRA to drug use and the legal track record isn't so good.

This is where I tend to disagree with both the cultural Left and Right. A for-profit business serves no purpose other than the maximize the financial returns of its owners. It serves no social purpose. It serves no cultural purpose. When you deviate from maximizing profits, you get into issues like this.

A publicly traded for-profit business serves only to maximize profits. But if you own the joint, you can spend the proceeds on whatever cultural purpose you like as long as its otherwise legal.

The point in granting business religious freedom rights (see Hobby Lobby) isn't because the impersonal  bundle of contracts has a conscience, it's because the people in it do.
