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.
The error in your thinking is you think religion and business are mutually exclusive. Sorry, but religious activities preformed by citizens don't magically disappear because they become entangled in business.....and yes I agree this is a business and not a church. A law which limits the free exercise of religion should be struck down because it is unconstitutional.
How brazen can the Knapps be about selective adherence to their claimed christianity's dogma, edicts, strictures, tenets, rules, commandments, and requirements and still be considered to be practitioners of the christian faith, and not schismatics setting up their own Knappite counter church ???
