You heard of Hobby Lobby because they promptly got sued for it.

Nobody's claiming that work is completely unrelated to religion or politics. That's just the inverse of the stupid claim that because work sometimes involves those things, we might as well do them as much as we want.

Hobby Lobby filed the lawsuit that they are famous for. And they won the case? What an ignorant reply.

Fair enough, but beside the point, which is that "businesses ... are legally required to, let people do their jobs regardless of their faith". Hobby Lobby had to wage a very public lawsuit all the way to the supreme court over a single element of their healthcare package, because our country doesn't like companies forcing religious beliefs on us. As it turns out, many of us feel the same way about companies forcing their politics on us.
