UK tribunal rules against Catholic teacher fired for expressing opinions

Please don't anyone think this is anti-Catholic prejudice, Anglican schools have been known to do this to Anglican teachers, and at least one Priest for the same thing.

Also do not try to make sense of it, work it out, or understand, you will hurt your head if you try. It is the world, there is something wrong with it.

"Judge Samantha Moore said that while Mr Dybowski’s views on marriage, abortion and gender amounted to protected beliefs, his expressed views on Sharia law were deemed an opinion and thus were not protected."

If I try to explain, we have this thing called "protected charecteristics", it refers to any natural unchangeable attribute, such as race, disability, and also whatever you have a human right to, such as religion, or a previous nationality. It is illegal to different degrees depending on what the deed was, to attack someone for a "protected charectistic". It causes no end of confusion among all our law enforcers, from police to judges. I am no lawyer, but this looks to me like the judge declared every one of Mr Dybowski’s Catholic beliefs fine, protected characteristics, until it came to his objection to stoning people to death for homosexuality...whereupon for some reason that was interpreted as apparently as him being prejudiced against Muslims.

This is the reccuring problem with the law as it is, one persons protected characteristic is another persons attacking them for their own protected characteristic. It goes on in every direction. I don't know if it is thin skinned, so much as believing that everyone can be free without anyone ever annoying anyone else is just deluded. How am I supposed to be a theist myself, without that really upsetting the nearest anti-theist?
