bake the cake!

Andrew Seidel, one of the new "faces" of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, breaks down the recent court case about the bakery that refused to bake a cake for a gay couple. 

Is God a right to discriminate? Not in a sane world!

Does religion allow a cake baker to discriminate against a gay couple? Is belief in god a license to discriminate? Put another way, does religious belief exempt the believer from the law? Does having a particular belief give someone the right to act on that belief, simply because the belief is religious? Constitutional attorney Andrew L. Seidel of the Freedom From Religion Foundation answers these questions and discusses the Masterpiece Cakeshop case—the gay wedding cake case—that the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for on December 5, 2017. Seidel answers the question: There is no religious right to infringe the rights of others. There is an attempt to redefine religious freedom in the United States. But the only guarantee of true religious freedom is a secular government, a government that is free from religion.
