They have the right to build a clinic if they want, but they do not have the right to make me design it for them. If the State forces me to provide services against my will, then it has made me into its slave. That is very different from regulations that govern the way in which services are performed in order to protect the public, like following building codes. The apologists for fascism cannot, or will not, make such distinctions. They will force equality on everyone by ax and saw.
The problems with religion in relation to one's job usually arises in careers more directly associated with offering personal aid to humanity, such as being a doctor. Other than those who own private practices, a doctor cannot refuse to help a patient on the grounds that his religious beliefs conflict with that of the patient's beliefs or lifestyle. Well, the doctor can refuse to help the patient, but he will lose his job as a result.
A professional is supposed to put aside his personal religious beliefs while on the job.
