My Way News - Suit alleges dismissal for intelligent design
My Way News reports: "David Coppedge, who worked as a "team lead" on the Cassini mission exploring Saturn and its many moons, alleges that he was discriminated against because he engaged his co-workers in conversations about intelligent design and handed out DVDs on the idea while at work. Coppedge lost his 'team lead' title in 2009 and was let go last year after 15 years on the mission."

Comment: I'll reserve judgement on this one for now, as it's not really clear that this is a case of religious persecution. There are many reasons he could have been let go, especially in this age of budget cuts at government agencies. It will be interesting to follow the developments in the case to see what details emerge.
