The ruling was narrow in its scope. SCOTUS didn't rule on what we considered the underlying constitutional issue.

"It is proper to hold that whatever the outcome of some future controversy involving facts similar to these, the Commission's actions here violated the Free Exercise Clause, and its order must be set aside.'That requirement," the court concludes, "was not met here. When the Colorado Civil Rights Commission considered this case, it did not do so with the religious neutrality that the Constitution requires.

That's not narrow. That's pretty specific if you ask me. That and 7-2, 6-2 whatever ... isn't narrow

I’m not sure its as narrow as some are saying. I haven’t read the whole thing and it appears that the court ruled that free exercise of religion included religious activity. The left has argued for years that “free exercise” is just freedom of belief or freedom of worship, essentially freedom of religious speech. This goes beyond that.
