Opposed to using AI for her software-engineering job, Erin Maus secured something of a miracle from her employer: a religious exemption.

Maus, a Unitarian Universalist, said she proposed the special treatment in April, citing environmental and ethical objections to AI that don't align with her religious beliefs. She also said she consulted an employment lawyer and her local chapter's minister to help make her case.


Love seeing Unitarian Universalists pushing back against anti-human, environmentally destructive forces!

I wish our justice system would recognize that deeply held convictions need not be religious in nature; and also, if anyone is going to meet that challenge by stretching the definition of "religious", it's the UUs.

She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals.

Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.

After a ~15 year hiatus, I've started going back to #unitarianuniversalist services. This morning we sung Blue Boat Home and it unlocked so many emotions. I think I need more of this in my life.

@AliceMarshall @IveyJanette Welp. Guess my own faith (UU)has been excluded from US military recognized religions. Someone needs to tell a lot of Senators and Congressmen.

“This restructuring of faith codes, which help identify service members as well as the military in planning for appropriated religious coverage to include them, has now excluded minority faith/worldview groups including Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans.”

Fun fact: Churches cost a lot of money to operate. One of the things I like about Congregationalists like the #UnitarianUniversalist congregations and #unitedchurchofchrist churches is that in the New England tradition we let all of our members know what that is, whether they like it or not.

As part of my ongoing commitment to reignite the level of religion in my life, I am attending a meeting about next week's Annual Meeting at my #UnitarianUniversalist congregation. A meta-meeting, if you will.

I'm not sure if I am sick or crazy.

It’s fun being #UnitarianUniversalist because I’m an atheist who was able to tell the cute little twinks with name badges who asked me if I wanted to go to a church on Sunday that I already belong to a church without a bit of dishonesty
