Your question does not make any sense at all because the dictating isn't being done by people excercising their religious liberties. The dictating is being done by elitest who feel compelled to try to run everyone elses lives.
Uh, the government is kinda supposed to make the rules? That's... what we elect them for?
Meanwhile, you're trying to characterize this as a scenario in which a potential violation of Hobby Lobby's religious rights was averted, and so I'm asking you where in the free exercise of religion is the provision about inflicting those religious beliefs onto others and dictating what can be done with their fairly earned compensation?
As far as I am concerned the solution to this problem is simple. If Hobby Lobby doesn't want to purchase contraception coverage don't force them too. Just require Hobby Lobby to give each employee a per diem equivalent to what it would cost Hobby Lobby to provide such coverage. The employee can then spend that money they way they choose.....let the employee buy their own contraception coverage.
You liberals won't go for that because you always want to force your way of life onto others.
