Gotcha. Your position is that religious beliefs trumps science, reality and other peoples beliefs if you are in a position of authority. The fact that they chose to hire other people who don't conform with their fringe religious beliefs because no one forced them to do that, doesn't matter. Sure, they wouldn't be able to make as much money, but that isn't a right. And I am pretty sure that Jesus would frown on that, too. Render unto Caesar and all that. Ok. Let's use the same reasoning. Rastafarians shouldn't be arrested for using pot. After all, it is a sincere religious belief and, as has been shown, the government really doesn't have a compelling reason to restrict it. This puts it squarely within the ruling. What you are saying here is broader than that, however. What if their sincerely held religious beliefs prohibit treating women equally with men? Or that other races are inferior to whites and should not be treated equally? Or any number of things. There are lots of reasons why allowing people complete freedom to their sincerely held religious beliefs and exercising them in the public sphere winds up imposing their religion on everyone else.
