The Bible condems A LOT of things, but homosexuality is the main one Christians like her can't seem to get over. They can get over eating shellfish, working on Sunday, and mixing different fabrics. Just because her religion doesn't like the ACT of homosexuality, does not mean she has the right to disobey the law and her job. It's against the act not a civil union for legal purposes. Something that is completely Constitutional and now legal. By refusing to give out a legal document that the supreme Court deemed as not violating her first amendment rights, she was breaking the law as a state employee. You first amendment rights have limits! You can't yell fire in a movie theater and you can't write liable about someone even though you have the right to publish what you want. And so with religion you can't claim immunity to the law or your job, just because a few passages in your holy book condem an act that has to do with your job. That's not how freedom of religion works. And for your information it isnt very hard to get noticed as a religion by the government. John Oliver did it just to prove how shitty televangelists are. He created a whole church just to prove a point. So because of this you can't just claim to be able to break the law if your "beliefs" are against it. It's like having a scientologist refusing to shampoo people at a salon they work at and getting upset for being fired. They can be fired even though, using normal shampoo is against their beliefs. They are still allowed to worship and praise xenu. The clerk is still allowed to worship and praise god. Therefore her rights are were not being restricted. She was fired and jailed for not doing her job or obeying the law. Unless they stop her from worshiping and declaring herself Christian, they are not infringing on her rights.
