No, you hit the nail on the head.

Our Federal Constitution's Amendment #1 states "Congress shall make no law establishing a religion"

Playing favorites for one religion over another is a blatant violation of our Constitution. The Supremes tried to spell out in their ruling that this was only a special exception for religious beliefs about birth control but they can't do that.

I suspect that had the Hobby Lobby case been about a Muslim owned business wanting to make their female workers wear a hajib, the ruling might have gone differently.
