How so? Have there been any presidencies set in court yet? Believing they would or would not apply is simply opinion at this point. While I’m not agreeing or disagreeing I can factually say that many box stores have pulled back the idea of enforcement based on the religious rights idea. They know that in many areas “social stigma” will police many, but also realize that they have to stay neutral when challenged for fear of potential suit and vulnerability.
I've actually spoke with a lawyer about this and had a notarized copy of religious belief made for my employer. Employers have to honor the religious exemption but in Virginia the governor's mandate does not offer an exemption for religious purposes to businesses so they do not have to honor my religious exemption.
Now this is where it gets tricky ... I have tried four different doctors and I happen to have a nasal deformity that restricts airflow and as a result I have no sense of smell but doctor's will not recommend not wearing a mask or they simply tell you that if the mask have negative affects, don't wear it.
So what is a disability?
a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities.
Well my severe PATRIOTITUS prevents me from being physically capable of putting a mask on. Call it a "mental condition" if it makes you feel better but there's my disability.
