If said store advertises that they will print custom t-shirts and they refuse to print one for a particular cause I would say they have a problem.

Well, a t-shirt company already did go to court over it, and the court sided with the shop (which I think is the right choice, even if I find the owners' beliefs to be disgusting).

The same thing goes for artists or anyone that creates products on commission, just because someone solicits the service of the artist doesn't mean the artist is then bound to draw literally anything the customer wants. If a certain artist only offers religious drawings or only offers non-religious drawings as part of his services, the law can't force him to suddenly start drawing one or the other. The artist is happy to draw something for anyone, but only offers a range of products, from which anyone is able to select.
