One would think that ‘free exercise of religion’ a freedom that is protected in the Constitution would be pretty clear to everybody. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t know the difference between ‘free exercise’ and ‘freedom to worship at the church of your choice.’ Most Americans don’t know free exercise means you can BE A FAITHFUL Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, etc, 24/7/365. The GOVERNMENT cannot retaliate. In fact, no one should.

However, anti-religious bigots want the government to force their views on religious people in their workplaces. The remedy of freedom is that an Amish guy who refuses to install electricity doesn’t get as much business at night. But that’s HIS choice.

A baker who doesn’t want to decorate a homosexual coupling cake with positive comments doesn’t have to, but they won’t get much of the homosexual coupling business OR from their friends.

THAT’S FAIR.

What isn’t fair is the government FORCING anyone to violate their religion.
