The Religious Freedom Act?

Editor, Times-Union:
All peoples in the United States are guaranteed to have freedom of religion. I don’t agree with all the different religions that people have, but I respect their right to worship as they see fit, except when it comes to human sacrifice.
To try to force a business to do something that is contrary to their religious belief is also unacceptable and I believe it is also legally unconstitutional. This has no intend to discrimination in this action and use your common sense that God has given to everybody.
To put this in better perspective, say a same-sex couple wanted to get married in a local mosque. You won’t see this happen simply because the Muslims would not allow it. Do you think it would be that way because the Muslims are prejudiced? The Muslims would not allow it because it is against their religious belief. The same reason that a Christian would not agree to a similar request because of his or her religious belief. Do you doubt this statement? Find someone else that don’t have this objection.
Quit picking on Christians who are more tolerant of such happening. Keep pushing and somebody may start pushing back. Just a friendly reminder.
