RFRA laws say that before the government can burden a person's religious exercise, the government has to show a compelling justification. That standard makes sense. We shouldnot punish people for practicing their religions unless we have a very good reason.

I don't think Americans want to discriminate against anyone. So no one here is saying it should be legal to deny someone service at a restaurant or a hotel because of theirsexual orientation. The flip side of it is, though, should a photographer be punished for refusing to do a wedding that their faith teaches them is not one that is valid inthe eyes of God?
