I'm not advocating that the Baker should ask what the cake is for. I should have made clear that my examples were for if the people requesting the cake voluntarily mentioned what it was for... would the baker then be allowed to refuse to make it if it was for a cause/event he strongly opposed? It doesn't have to be for religious reasons, either. It could be personal moral reasons that have nothing to do with their religion. Like BennyBoy said, he would have refused to make a cake if he knew it was for a Jewish circumcision celebration.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
