No, sorry Woody. Just because they toss in the word "religious" doesn't magically make them immune to the law. Get rid of the for-profit business model and make it a church or non-profit organization and they can refuse whatever they like. They're selling a product, they're a for-profit business, they have to follow the law just like any other business. It's very simple, no matter how huffy and indignant you might feel about following the same rules as everyone else.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
