Having laws is the groundwork for any view to be forced on someone but It would be more follish not to have the legal groundwork set up to protect people for fear that bad laws might be made. Even your truely "free society" would be forcing views on people, the view that all belief systems are equall. Plus their is a big difference than beliefs and actions. Beliefs: x,y and z are sins. Actions: refusing to do business with people who do x, still doing business with y, and z.

Laws (in liberal societies) are meant to protect people from force, not iniate it. If somebody refuses to do service with another person, they are not iniating force. 

Laws go well beyond prevention of force. some services are much more important than others, where do you draw the line. Then again I saw your post on property views.

you're of te view that people should have much more freedoms to do as they see fit, let the market work things out. I'm of the philosophy some things shoudl be required by law that shouln't even need to be discussed. both have some merrits and flaws and both have a swinging pendulum of societies current values vs the values of some individuals that don't line up and have some conflict.
