Offering insurance isn't against anyone's religion.
Which you surely know better than they, not being a member of their religion or anything.
Making employees accept your personal precepts shouldn't be protected under the 1st amendment.
Then don't work for them.
If that is put out there upfront, you might have a point.
For instance, I was once offered a job by a company that was run by a devout Jewish guy who closed down on Fridays for the Sabbath. (His religious devotion obviously did not extend to making sure everyone working for him was legally here. "If there papers look good enough, that's good enough for me.")
I felt this was a high enough level of religous stupidity and hypocrisy where I didn't take the job.
I think it would be different if you work for a company, your COBRA has just run out, and then you get your first day of new insurance, and find out, "Oh, we don't cover your wife's progestrone for Ovarian Cysts because of religious objections by your employer".
The Catholic Church already has an exemption from their no birth control policy when it's needed for medical reasons, so your argument is invalid.
Furthermore, no employer is required to provide you with health insurance, even under ObamaCare. It's a fringe benefit and if you have a serious medical condition then one would think you'd take the initiative to ask such an important question before taking the job.
You're trying to abdicate people from their own responsibilities.
