Because the only religion you are allowed to have is worship of the state. That seems to be the position of the Progressives, anyway. In this case religious freedom was restored. Staten Island firefighter Timothy Rivicci canned over COVID-19 vax mandate gets job back after judge's decision
Timothy Rivicci – who filed suit after he was terminated in March – will be reinstated to his full duties at Engine 158 and granted a religious exemption from the jab, according to a decision handed down on Tuesday by Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio.
Rivicci will also receive back pay and compensation for lawyers’ fees, the judge ruled.
The judge said the city acted in an “arbitrary and capricious” manner.
Rivicci said he and his wife – who was a city teacher – were both fired for not getting the jab for religious reasons. The pair are born-again Christians.
“The whole time we weren’t able to pay our mortgage and we weren’t sure how we were going to get back on our feet,” Rivicci told The Post. “I don’t know what we would have done. We could have lost the house if not for this decision.”
I expect that the city will fight this, because he isn't the only person fired from FDNY. Or the schools or NYPD, etc.
