It means, in practice, that the religious can have more freedom to deny freedom to others, than others have freedom to refuse to submit to restrictions imposed by the sensibilities of the religious.

No Chik-fil-a for you! You don't handle SNAKES !!!!!!!
Not quite understanding what you are getting at here, but the government isn't a "closely-held" private company.
But it is the unremitting goal of some to make the government operate more or less like a closely held private company with an army, a nuclear arsenal, a multilayer system of internal enforcers, a system of prisons with death rows, and an ability to rally stupid patriotism for the services of those holding the company.
