You absolutely should have that right. What is the issue?

Isn't religion one of a few "protected classes"? Can't fire someone for race, sex, religion, disability, or age. I think you can't deny service for those reasons either. Well not if the SCOTUS considered precedent and made good faith rulings at least.

"Should" is the operative word in my statement. I personally believe that you SHOULD have that right. I have always held the belief that I would much rather people discriminate against me openly so I can determine who I want to give my money to. If a company doesn't want to do business with me, then I certainly don't want to do business with them. Instead we have laws that prohibit discrimination, but face discrimination in practice. It's like having a friend who smiles to your faces, but talks shit about you behind your back. No thanks, I'll pass.
