Being religious means, among other things, making choices to live in the world in accordance to your perception of God's will.
The people that promote these "religious freedom" laws don't seem to get that. They want to exercise their religious conscience --well and good-- but without having to make any sacrifices. What they want is for other people to make the sacrifice for their sake.
I am not impressed by those who think that living a religious life gives you license to shift the burden to others.

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
