Again, the ruling does no such thing. It reaffirms, narrowly I might add, that people have a right to practice their religion freely and that government cannot force them to provide drugs that cause abortions (seriously look at the case, Hobby Lobby was challenging abortifacient drugs) with the medical insurance plans they offer to their employees. Just because you become a business owner or a corporate executive doesn't mean you lose your religious freedom.

People, back when there was conscription, who refused to go to war due to their religious beliefs didn't get to just go home and continue living their lives. They had to take dangerous jobs like firefighting, or allow their bodies to be used for medical trials, and things like that, instead.

"Religious belief" and conscientious objection isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card. If a company that employs people refuses to follow requirements put on it by laws because it contradicts the owners' religious beliefs, those owners are completely within their rights to cease to hire people, to stop operating as a corporation. If you are required by law to do something as a corporation and your religious beliefs contradict that, then you can do that - but you don't get to keep operating as a corporation.

If your religious beliefs contradict your obligations as a business owner, don't be a business owner.

So now employment = conscription?

And since you can't have religious views and be a business owner then I guess all of us working folk would be conscripts in Satan's army then?

That's a joke and I'm sorry but so is your post.
