domestic automobile manufacturers don’t have enough to worry about without special interest groups jumping all over

rejecting an Indianapolis plant worker’s application to create an interdenominational Christian affinity group because
the company doesn’t allow the groups to promote religion, the worker filed a discrimination case, which an Indianapolis

just Christianity — the company excludes all religions equally from the program, and therefore cannot be charged with
discrimination. A federal appeals court upheld the ruling on Thursday.
