LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The developer of a Noah's Ark-based theme park in Kentucky said on Wednesday he would fight for his religious rights after state officials warned he could lose millions in potential tax credits if he hires only people who believe in the biblical flood.
Ark Encounter, which is slated to open in 2016 in Williamston, Kentucky, is not hiring anyone yet, but its parent company Answers in Genesis asks employees to sign a faith statement including a belief in creationism and the flood. (Continues)

Amazing isn't it? Atheist groups charge violations in the establishment clause if anyone receiving any kind of government funding or credits embraces anything religious as cause to sue. And threaten they do. And they make headlines and usually back down religious people who bow to the demands to not do this or that for fear of ending up in court.
Now instead of a bunch of godless hacks, here we have KY state officials threatening they'll revoke tax credits if a religious themed park insists on holding to its religious beliefs by extending those to its hiring practices that support the theme of the entire business.
Translation: If you don't want to pay us taxes through the nose to have your religious theme park, you'll agree to abdicate your religious convictions and hire people who don't hold to religious beliefs so that we don't charge you more in taxes to have a religious themed park.
The worlds going to Hell I tell ya. And it's being guided there by stupid people in power.
