I was reported by a coworker and ended up having disciplinary action taken against me for saying “I hate God”. Is that not a statement of my own personal religious beliefs, and wouldn't it therefore be protected? It seems similar to if I were a Satanist and said “Hail Satan”, it's a personal statement of religious belief rather than attacking others for their religious beliefs, right? Am I reading too far into this, or is there someone I should reach out to about this?
