Religion and the law

[robvalue]

I'm thinking again about point 1, and that guy who wouldn't make cakes for a transgender person for religious reasons. He said something along the lines of, "My religious beliefs are that God made only two genders, and we don't get to dictate them, so I won't make a cake that celebrates changing gender".

It's the weird way beliefs and facts are mixed up here that fascinates me. If he thought it was simply true that there are only two genders, and that a "change of gender" isn't a legitimate thing to do, why would religion enter into it? It's like the "religious belief" is a free pass to assert whatever you want, with the expectation that people should just accept it, even if it's not actually true.

It's seems like the person doesn't care what is true.
