Protected classes should be constituted by morally neutral, immutable, objective characteristics. That is to say, protected classes, like race, biological sex, or national origin, are wholly objective conditions, in all cases immutable, and are not in any way constituted by freely chosen behaviors.

So discriminating on the basis of religion - a freely chosen behavior - is OK? I think the author may have proved too much.

Yes, that’s their logic. Of course they need the “born that way” argument to uphold their protected class status, too.
