It's ironic you would decry her religious freedom under the law by forcing her to violate her ethics for gay rights.
Her freedom of religion is only to follow whatever fairtale she chooses.
It does not allow her to impose it on others, which is what she is doing here.
I notice you didn't respond to my question either
Her religious freedom is protected under law in the work place. It allows her to be reasonably accomodated:

As for your example, I wouldn't sincerely care if anyone denied me service because of a deeply held religious belief. I would simply find service elsewhere.
Like fuck you would, you'd be up on your christian high horse hollering religious persecution for the whole world to hear, even more so if it was a evil atheist that refused you service.
I am practically numb to such treatment, it doesn't bother me. I do find some of it annoying, but not to the point that I would try to get someone in trouble or make a federal case out of it.

What a laughable crock of shit. If I refused to stamp your marriage certificate because your a Christian nutjob and I'm a atheist who says your beliefs are evil, you'd kick up a stink.
Perhaps that is how you would act. If I had no other alternative I would be forced to go to your superior but I am not interested in creating more drama in the world than is absolutely necessary.
