As a Satanist, I'll enjoy using this.

The article is behind a paywall so I can’t read it all. Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused? Religions are not formally defined because that’d open a whole another can of worms. Can someone claim rummaging through a cash register - their religious ritual?

Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused?

From the article:

the court clarified Thursday that an undue hardship is “shown when a burden is substantial in the overall context of an employer’s business.”

Sounds like it doesn't matter how much other employees are burdened, just the business overall. That said, yes, the ruling seems to have lots of potential for abuse.
