2. I'd love to see all sorts of people claiming a "religious exemption" to this bullshit.

I think the only way to beat down this ridiculous gallop to theocracy is to insist that all religions deserve equal accommodation. Challenge this shit. Even cite the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Hey, it's a sincerely held belief, right? Who can possibly judge how sincerely a sincerely held belief is? And who is to say that one "religion" is more valid than another?

I honestly fear we're galloping headlong into a theocracy. Already it's a theocratic democracy. There's no such thing as separation of church and state anymore. You've got 10 commandment bulllshit on courthouse lawns, pharmacists are allowed to cite bullshit in order not to fill a prescription for birth control, in states they're passing right to discriminate bills. This shit has to stop.
