Wild Hunt has done wonderful work in making more information available.  See Jason Pitzi-Water’s latest report here.  And he also had a piece when McCoillum met with Obama Administration officials to discuss issues such as religious discrimination. 

Pitzi-Waters quotes McCollum  as to some of the truly depraved actions by Fundamentalists in California’s prison system

I’d like to start with a few true examples of discrimination to
illustrate the severity of the problem: A Wiccan inmate has cancer and
the prison guards refuse to transport him to his chemotherapy
treatments unless he removes his religious pentacle medallion which
they have objections to. He chooses to forgo his chemotherapy and keep
his pentacle. A Wiccan inmate has been trying to go to Wiccan services
for months, but the guard at her dorm refuses to give her a pass. The
guard says it is for the good of the Wiccan inmate’s soul. Another
dying Wiccan writes his volunteer chaplain that he needs to see him
before he crosses over. The chaplain makes numerous attempts to reach
prison staff to receive the necessary clearances, but no one responds.
But worse, prison mailroom staff refuse to forward the chaplain’s mail,
so that the inmate knows why his chaplain isn’t coming.

I think this issue is very important  because as we grow in numbers and appeal to others, Conservative Christians, who historically have always relied on the State to impose their domination will likely increase their efforts to attack and demonize us.  This is a prediction I hope does not come true, but I suspect that it will.

I am afraid this is the beginning of an organized conservative Christian effort to suppress Pagan religions as a threat to their dominance.  Conservative Christians have never been able to tolerate religious liberty, have grudgingly allowed it when they lacked the power to deny it, and can be expected to work hard to attack us now that we are so visible  I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
