Denver Man Fired For Atieism
DENVER (EAP) A Denver man was fired on his first day on the job last week after refusing to wear a tie. The man claims to be an Atieist, and says it's against his religion of Atieism to wear a necktie.
"His objection never came up during our interviews," said Randolph Babcock, manager of Mountain Hills Sporting Goods. "All salespeople are expected to wear ties and there are no exceptions."
Johnathon Willingsly, 32, is suing Mountain Hills for religious discrimination and has called in the ACLU to help in the case.
"I hate ties," he said. "No one can legally force me to wear one if it's against my religion."
"This is one for the books," said Ted Young, attorney for Willingsly. "I'm not sure if we'll win the case, but it's worth a try."
"There are a lot more people like me out there," Willingsly said. "We need to stand up and be counted."

What's "a-tie-ism"? Is that when you mistakenly and habitually tie your tie in a knot?
