1st person "My belief in a religion lets me dictate what days I can and cant work to my employer and that is what I deserve."

2nd person "I mean I just believe that we should always be good to people and do the best we can to make the world a better place for everyone, I also believe that everyone should have their two days off together."

Supreme Court "1st one deserves special treatment from the law, second one does not."
