From the Telegraph:
A London employment tribunal has ruled that Tim Nicholson, right, was wrongly dismissed as a property firm’s “head of sustainability because of his fervent commitment to “climate change.” Mr Nicholson had fallen out with his colleagues over his attempts to reduce the company’s “carbon footprint.”
The tribunal chairman David Neath found the company guilty of discriminating against Mr Nicholson under the 2006 Equality (Religion and Belief) Regulations, because his faith in global warming was a “philosophical belief.”
Recalling how “eco-psychologists” at the University of the West of England are pressing for “climate denial” to be classified as a form of “mental disorder,” one doubts whether the same legal protection would be given to those who fail to share Mr Nicholson’s “philosophical belief.”
The tribunal’s finding is simply confirmation of something the rest of us have known for some time now: the radical, fervent belief in global warming, or “climate change,” is 100% a religion to those who hold it. Next, we just need a court to rule on another obvious fact: radical Atheism is, much to the chagrin and denial of its adherents, also a religious belief.
