Because *you* seem to have this misguided idea that rights are unlimited
So, if I'm to extrapolate from your assertion...
That means you have the idea that rights should be regulated? Please by all means correct me if I'm wrong.
Regulated? If that is what you call placing limitations on rights, then yes.
I do not believe the right of free speech means you can slander, libel or create public panic.
I do not believe the right to freedom of religion should include forcing those religious values on anyone else.
I do not believe the right to assembly includes leading lynch mob.
All of our rights have limitations.
Do you think they should be unlimited?
Forcing beliefs on another. That is what many groups and even the government has been doing. Religion is nothing but a belief system, we all follow a religion of some sort.
Definition of religion
: the belief in a god or in a group of gods
: an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods
: an interest, a belief, or an activity that is very important to a person or group
So forcing beliefs on another is wrong and this is my issue with many of the government laws forcing people to accept others beliefs.
It's the religious people trying to force others to accept their beliefs. They are using religion to try to write themselves their own set of laws without regard to the constitution.

You've got it backwards. It is the religious people try to hang on to their beliefs in the face of government intervention. Did the bakers try to convert the gays or merely refuse to be a part of a gay wedding? Would they have opted out of all gay wedding plans or did they single these gays out?
