Actually, corporations are legal instruments used by people to limit their liability to their investment. Everything else has been twisted into fashion by conservatives with an agenda.
Corporations have more advantages than just liability protection. They can issue stock to raise capital....They hve perpetual existence...etc.
The point is corporations are simply tools of people. Its the people utilizing the corporate business structure that have rights. Hobby Lobby could have restructed itself as a sole proprietorship and under Obamacare the owners would still need to engage in an activity that violated their religious beliefs. The fact that the business was structured as a corporation has nothing to do with whether or not Obamacare as implemented violates peoples free excercise of religion.
