True. Although I do understand that is was an attempt to accommodate those groups that were truly religious oriented (and non-profit).
Non-profit is irrelevant. A non-profit is bound by almost all the rules a for-profit is bound by with the exception of paying taxes. They still comply with discrimination law, OSHA, and other rules, regulations and policies.
Liberals don't like profit and they create a separate category in their mind for for-profits but the distinction is largely artificial.
And a great point was made earlier. Does Gannett Corp not have freedom of the press because they're a corporation? Does Greenpeace lose the right to assemble because they're a corporation? Does the Southern Baptist Convention lose the right to freedom of religion because they're a corporation? Does Clear Channel lose the right to freedom of speech because they're a corporation? Y'all are in a lather about corporations being "given" personhood and rights when they already had it.

I don't agree and think that is an over generalization. It wasn't an artificial distinction for this case. That was the issue--the opt out provision of the ACA

Yes they do and have had for a very long time--the issue for some is how far do you extend those rights.
ETA: BTW 808, I've just got back on the board to read the threads and post. As much as I enjoy this board I don't live on it.
