Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses Indiana lawmakers and their reactions to criticism for their Religious Freedom Law that allows discrimination against anyone on religious grounds.
If you ever needed a reason to start a religion and keep everyone else out of your cool secret religion club house now you have exactly what you need; the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that just went on the books in Indiana allows businesses to discriminate against anyone for religious reasons. This law has caused a lot of criticism, especially in the LGBT community but the creators of the law could not care less. Lawmakers in Indiana who supported the law went out of their way to show that they didn't care that the law could discriminate, because that was what they had created the law for in the first place.
Indiana is the twentieth state to pass such a law because the United States is huge and has quite a few insane people living there.
