Why do the religious demand to be taken seriously?

On another discussion forum which I haunt, we were going over the current silly-season SCOTUS case regarding the Hobby Lobby religious zealots' attempt to get their religion stuck firmly into LAW.  I find that this is so blatantly against the Constitution, the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights, and the traditions of this country as to be impossible to miss for what it is - a religious zealot's bid to be taken seriously instead of laughed at for slavish obedience to a rather cheesy bed-time-story.

When pinned down about why a "closely-held" corporation should have any sort of power over the health-care choices of a REAL, LIVE, BREATHING HUMAN, all my opponents in the debate could come up with was nitpicking about the definition of "closely held." (Sorry, an IRS definition is subject to law, not the other way around; that definition is for the tax code and not for anything else.  But I will concede that there is a generally-accepted definition in regards taxation.  So stipulated.  There.  Happy?)

And to continue....  (But first, an orange Cheesy-Poof, for your enjoyment!)
