TIL that it is legal for fraternal societies to discriminate in providing services based on membership status in the group (so for example a Christian mutual-insurance benefit society can limit membership to Christians)...
but it's ILLEGAL to limit EMPLOYMENT to members!

It is apparently actually the law that you can make a "KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ONLY" rule for selling your products, but it's illegal to limit *employment and leadership* to that *exact same class*.
Religious organizations have the right to discriminate in religious roles, but it's insane to me that it's a crime for overtly religious organizations with "secular" functions to *ask if the person actively opposes the religion*
It's actually a crime for a faith-based service provider to ask, "Is it your objective to destroy our religion on the basis of your deep-seated philosophical opposition to our beliefs?"
Of course in practice, people often volunteer this kind of information. But.... still.
