1.In its broader context, the case Iām about to bring up is really about what Democrats/Leftists mean when they claim to support āfreedom of worship,āā¦
2. āā¦thereās a big difference between freedom of worship and the free exercise of religion.
3. Those on the left understand the difference, and thatās why they speak of freedom of worship and avoid the words of the First Amendment. Words matter. When politicians speak of freedom of worship, they are saying that you are free to worship any way you choose in your home or in your house of worship. But they donāt want your religion to affect the way you live your life in public or the way you conduct your business.
Democrats and Progressives say that you are perfectly free to pray and worship in any way you chooseāas long as you do so behind closed doors. But if you are a Christian businessperson, you must set aside your convictions and pay for your employeesā abortions. If you are a Christian baker, you must set aside your conscience and create a cake that celebrates a same-sex wedding. You may practice your faith in your house of worship one day a week. The rest of the week, your conscience belongs to the State, not your Creator.ā Sean Spicer, āRadical Nationā
The appeal, 303 Creative LLC vs. Elenis, could take up where a similar Colorado case involving a bakerās refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple left off.ā Same-sex wedding case among religious challenges on Supreme Court docket - Breitbart
5. āThe āfree exerciseā wording comes from the opening line of the First Amendment: āCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.ā
