14. But the article is not about that, the subject is a specific religion's leadership's actions

So when you said what have we done to deserve this ... I assumed you referred to the two women in the particular religion who've lost their jobs.

I was replying based on that assumption.

And I don't think it necessarily reflects 'prevailing belief systems' currently.

Rather, it reflects ANCIENT belief systems, which we continue to give a ridiculous level of imprimatur.

Outside of a religious context, these firings are totally freaking illegal.
