Pretty much par for the course with these stupid political cases.
It cuts both ways. Was there really no other cake shop the gay couple could have gone to?
Thinking about this post is actually brought me to a completely different idea. When the US Constitution was first created, morality did swing largely around the church. So freedom of religion and freedom from religion was to an extent a right to your own morality, and a right to act or not act based on your own sincerely held morality.
Today, we live in a much more secular world. There are much fewer religious people than they used to be. So we end up in this really weird situation where if you have a sincerely held moral belief and you have that because you think God told you to, then you can be protected from having to act another way. And you have that because you think it's the right thing to do, you have no similar protections.
I think there's a good argument we made for amending the Constitution of the world to change the freedom of religion into a freedom of conscience. And similarly, a freedom from someone else's conscience.

The number one largest by volume group of people who are trying to cut people off from being able to do business would be the woke religion. There are countless examples where someone is sitting there basically minding their own business and they end up getting kicked out of the banking system, or they get kicked off a website, or they get kicked off of a sales platform, or they get kicked out of their job, because they are not following the holy precepts of that religion.
So let's do it for everyone. Tax the churches, tax the political nonprofits. You're not allowed to deny someone because your religion of God tells you that they are evil, you're not allowed to deny someone because your religion of wokeness tells you they are evil.
I think doing that would immediately calm down a lot of this culture war crap.
