Nick Spencer has been quoted in The Washington Post article: ‘A Brit says he was fired for being vegan. His company says he was just bad at his job’ which discusses the case of Jordi Casamitjana, who wants to establish ethical veganism as a belief protected by law.
“Others aren’t so sure this case is a good thing. “Rights are intended to be liberating. But if we’re all turned into rights–bearers, my rights clashing with your rights, we end up having to appeal to the courts to sort out our differences, and that can become oppressive for everybody,” Nick Spencer of the think tank Theos, which stimulates debate about religion in society, told the BBC.”
