Didn't reply yestereday because was away.

Yes, the right to not believe is protected. But that's not the issue we were dealing with. We were dealing with belief that was unconnected with religion OR atheism OR agnosticism.

And more than just the right to think what you want to (though even that is becoming suspect); we were dealing with asking for an exemption from a public duty because of that non-religious (pro or con) belief. That, as far as I know, is something the SC has never endorsed.
