You still claim it is a cake like any other cake. That is incorrect. It is a wedding cake. I would not buy a wedding cake for a birthday. Now this is the difficult part for you, since you give no credibility to religion in general, and Christianity in particular. Their religion does not stop at their front door. It is a constant, in their lives. Selling a wedding cake, they expect their work to be used to celebrate a wedding as defined by their religion. It matters to them, and to be true to their religion, they cannot aid in a gay wedding celbration. THAT is the free exercise of their religion. You are suggesting, actually STATING, that they may not FREELY exercise their religion, but restrict it to the point where it is not evident to others. The lesbians are completely free to simply walk to a store that sells GAY wedding cakes. The bakery in question does not do that. To them, there is no such THING as a gay wedding. They do not sell gay wedding cakes, yet are forced to do so, or close. That is not freedom of religion. All wedding cakes are not created equal. They are to you, but that is irrelevant. They have a specific, legitimate reason to make a distinction. That reason is the free exercise of their religion. Where exactly is freedom FROM religion stated? In the mind of liberals, yes, but nowhere else. This is yet another extrapolation of the bill of rights, that is at odds with the document itself. You have the right to freely exercise your religion, but only in private. That caveat does not exist.
