Gerald Ford was a Mason and signed and authorized into law the Privacy Act of 1974 enabling employers including federal, state and local governments to legally religiously discriminate against their employees by making it law to exclude religious affiliation information in job applications thereby making it impossible to claim minority status with regards to religion as the data is completely hidden. So that majorities of employees in a given area that belong to creed based clubs, knowing each other or each other's memorized views of creed, for instance, can play favoritism in their hiring practices. This goes on for generation after generation especially in small town areas. It eventually breaks the will of some very good conscientious people who do not belong to the cliques. It is unfair and discriminatory, moreso than color or sex, and it makes money for those organizations that the chosen belong to. Belief is not knowledge, some may be myth? Civility is our goal?
