re: Satanists request exemption from pre-abortion counseling. Cite Hobby Lobby

Now the motivation for the counseling law is without a doubt religiously motivated although the counseling may not be religious in nature. That being said it doesn't matter...the satanists will argue that it is just a violation of their religious beliefs to receive counseling prior to an abortion. Kinda shows the absurdity of religious based objections to laws we're all subject to.

Exactly. The Hobby Lobby opened Pandora's box. Employers will start claiming religious exemptions from all sorts of regulations and very few courts will question the sincerity of their religious beliefs. I'm not even sure it's a good idea to make court's decide if religious beliefs are sincere
