@HPluckrose @RichardDawkins Liberalism, though it favors rationality, also favors freedom to worship as one wishes without discrimination. https://twitter.com/SuzanneWaldman/status/902872414534688769 …
That would be discrimination on the grounds of relevant knowledge, not on the grounds of religion.

Even though it's legal for a Catholic school to discriminate against a non-religious biology teacher it may not be legal to not hire a YECer

I think we are talking abt liberal ethics tho rather than laws which vary greatly and may or may not be ethical in this way.
-
Yes quite. Ethically it would be wrong to discriminate against anyone on the basis of their religion. Practically, it may be necessary.
-
No, that isn't what I meant.Religion might be the cause of their biology failure but the bio failure is what it's OK to discriminate against
-
If an evolutionary biologist happens to be Christian or Muslim, they shouldn't be discriminated against coz co-religionists deny biology.

But wouldn't they argue that you're discriminating against them on the basis of their religious beliefs? (Wrongly, I know)
-
Yes, but the fact that they'd be wrong means this isn't something we have to worry about ethically tho we could do in practice.
