In other words, people who want to discriminate against Blacks for religious reasons need to make a federal case out of it now that RFA may be on their side, which wasn't the case during the 1960s.
Yep, the federal and state courts are overwhelmed with RFRA cases of florists and bakers and pizza pie makers who don't want to serve blacks and gays

Which religions and/or denominations prohibit Blacks?
Exactly. They don't, which makes your attempt at trying to allude to such, moot.
Which religion bars Blacks?
The Aryan Nations does. It's a religion. It's official name is "Church of Jesus Christ Christian". You and I might not consider it a valid religion (or maybe you do), but it's members sure do.
Likewise the KKK has very strong religious connections. Just last year in fact the head of the Virginia KKK came right out and said they were a "religious, faith-based organization".
I don't think you'll find Blacks or any other racial minority welcome in either of those organizations.
So, should a member of the Aryan Nations or the KKK who owned a business be allowed to refuse service to blacks (or Jews or mixed-race couples) because it "goes against their religion"? Isn't that just using religion as an excuse for outright racism?
Wasn't that issue ALREADY DECIDED a few decades back?

Wrong answer. The question was "Which religion prohibits Blacks?" I didn't ask which religion bars Blacks from joining said religion.
FWIW, Black Liberation Theology, the religious practice of Obama's Trinity UCC Church in Chicago for more than 20 years, is anti-White much like the "Church of Jesus Christ Christian" is anti-Black. Neither prohibits the existence of Whites or Blacks, respectively.

So what's the difference between "prohibits" and "bars"? Sounds like you are falling back on playing word games rather than countering with a rational, accurate answer. Is that because you don't have one? Define "prohibit" in the way that you mean it.

Even assuming your comparison is correct - which it is not - such a claim would only prove my point - that religious affiliation could easily be used as an excuse for outright racism. NAZI philosophy - which the Aryan Nations church espouses - did a pretty good job of trying to "prohibit" the "existence" of Jews, Gypsies, Blacks etc - ALL of which were considered "subhuman" - during WWII. I've yet to see ANY "black church" do anything remotely similar. But again, even IF a "black church" did that, it would only prove my point - that religion can easily be used as an excuse for racism and discrimination - and quite frankly, any and all kinds of evil. There is nothing really "sacred" about religion - it's a social structure like anything else - and as such can be used for both good and evil (up to and including genocide). History has made that abundantly clear.

Is that why Obama gets away with his racism? Religious beliefs?
