It doesn't establish a religion, it simply respects it's existence.

Make an important practice within a religion illegal and you're banning a religion.

Contrary to how it plays on TV, the same respect is granted to any religion that has a practice of confession or pastoral counselling. Respecting one but not others would actually be establishment of a religion.

I can think of roughly 1.25 billion people who don't find "Indian" racist.

For this purpose, would you consider "rape" to include sexual contact between an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old when the 17-year-old has presented fake ID? Or are you in the "save it for marriage to avoid accidental molestation convictions" camp?

Modern pseudo-slavery differs from slavery in the first half of the nineteenth century in one important way: the child of two wage slaves is not a slave to either of his parents' employers.

Members of some religious groups handle this by not saying the Pledge at all. They pledge allegiance only to god, or they say a parody pledge referencing a pyrotechnic accident in 1984:

I pledge allegiance to the flag,
Michael Jackson makes me gag.
Pepsi-Cola burned him up,
Now he's selling 7 UP.

In theory, people also have the choice to live single instead of starting a family in the first place.

Non-compete agreements used for their non-disclosure properties are used to prevent accidental disclosure.

You should probably drink less. You're not even making sense.

"Five Eyes" doesn't have to be in the article. "New Zealand" alone is enough. All major industrialized anglophone countries are in on this.

In practice, the meaning of "Godwin's law" has grown from the original "later posts to threads about social topics invite more comparisons to the NSDAP" to "he who makes such a comparison loses the argument". Mike Godwin wrote about being surprised about how this law took root in popular culture: "I wanted folks who glibly compared someone else to Hitler or to Nazis to think a bit harder about the Holocaust."

Three people in the cockpit at all times. One to fly the plane, one to take over if he gets sick, one flight crew to watch the pilots and one to FOUR! FOUR people in the cockpit at all times :-)

So the crazy suicidal pilot immediately makes a few of those maneuvers you must never make and commits the plane to the crash.

One last chance for someone to be talked out of doing something we wish they wouldn't do? Separation of church and state? (The sanctity of the confession has existed much longer than the U.S.)
