Ok let's take it further.

At what point does it stop. Is a baker Muslim or Christian allowed to impose their religion on a Hindu or Buddhist customer?

What about a Korean refusing to decorate a cake for Japanese wedding?

How about a gay baker refusing to make a straight wedding cake?

The answer is if all the above are Americans, bake, sell, and decorate cakes. Then yes you do the job you advertise and take the cash.

The answers to all those questions is yes, they absolutely should be allowed to. Because I believe in the power of the almighty dollar. If a gay baker refuses to serve a straight wedding, then they're going out of business. People who are offended that this man won't bake a cake for a gay wedding can get their cakes elsewhere. If he goes out of business over customers going elsewhere, then that's American freedom. The only color people really see in the end is green. It stops right here with this case, and then lets let the free market decide.

Let me see if I can play your game of "At what point does it stop":

What about the Westboro Baptist Church going to a gay bakery and force them to bake a "God Hates F@#s" cake?

How about a guy going into a bakery and forcing the baker to make a cake with disgusting sex acts all over it?

How about forcing a Jewish tailor to spend months making a few dozen Nazi uniforms for a white supremacist rally?

It's absolute nonsense and trounces all over individual liberties to support assholes. What you are proposing is fascism where I now need to rely on the government to make all of my decisions for me.
