Should a business be able to deny service to a customer if the request conflicts with the owner’s religious beliefs?

It depends on the extent of the service. Baking a cake and having someone pick it up at the store is okay to not allow the denial of, but requiring someone to attend a gay wedding is unacceptable.

A business should be allowed to deny service when it does not depend on a customer's life or health.

It would depend on the business, the product being sold etc. In some instances yes, but most instances probably not.

Only if the request would cause the business personnel to directly perform an action that goes against their religion, not if the actions are being performed by the customers and the business is trying to force it's personnel's religious behavior or to show disapproval of the actions of the customers.

Yes, if the customer is being blatantly disrespectful towards the owner or the employees they should be able to get kid out.

Yes, but only if this denial is nondiscriminatory (for example, a Muslim deli owner refusing to use bacon on sandwiches)

I think you should only be able to refuse service to someone if they want you to make/ provide something hateful (nazi flag on a cake, racist t-shirt idk)

Yes but only if the business or service being provided to said person would directly go against their express religious beliefs

There should not be discrimination in terms of service, but if the owner happens to be Muslim or another region and doesn’t want to serve a cake to a homosexual couple, he has the right to not take part in that. My only concern would be that people would use those rules as loopholes for other forms of discrimination, which is obviously not ideal.

Yes, but the business owner should be required to refer the customer to a business who provides this service.

I believe everyone should be treated equally, however small businesses could hold the right to refuse certain beliefs to an extent, overall it shouldn't necessarily be allowed.

depends on the circumstance and belief

It depends on what they are denying it based off. If it’s something the customer cannot control then they shouldn’t deny

I don’t really care there’s always another business

If it is discriminatory then they should not be allowed to deny people. But if somebody is discriminating against a company's workers than the worker should be allowed to deny the customer

Religious beliefs should be separated from business decisions

No, because doing so is bad business. If one’s beliefs are so strong as to discriminate against other, perhaps one shouldn’t operate a business.

Most businesses have a business statement that states “we reserve the right to not serve/refuse service” and they have the right just like anyone else has their rights to not serve - but not other than religious beliefs- just as someone can choose not to patronize a business because of what they don’t believe or want to purchase from a business

Yes, so long as the customer is not being discriminated

Yes it is a business’s first amendment right to practice religion

thats the owners decision

Yes, only because it's the owner's establishment. They have the final say in what they do woth their business

No. Church and state are intended to be separate and that should apply to business as well. Religious beliefs are personal and private while a business is public. Refusing service on the basis of religious beliefs is no different than attempting to force your belief systems on another person.

Yes, but to a point. Businesses should treat all customers equally; however, if the beliefs are known to be controversial to policies for the business, then the business has the right to turn down a customer, but must come from an anti-discriminatory approach.

i dont see how that could be possible

Money is money. Either you take it or you don’t.

Yes, but only if the service or the event for which the service is being provided violates their beliefs, not based on who the person is.

a "private" business that does specialized, contracted work should be able to do so. Never on a day to day commerce. A warning of possible denial stating what the business beliefs and what they refuse should be given.

This question is way to broad. A business owner should be able to deny an extremist religious terrorist a drink at the bar. However, they should not be able to deny someone simply because they’re Jewish, Christian, etc...

Yes, if the service is relevant to the owner's beliefs

Yes, but only if the request requires the business person to perform an action contrary to their religion. Not solely because they disagree with the lifestyle of the person they are asked to serve.

Yes, it is the companies choice of how they treat their customers

Yes, but only for small, private companies and it should be done in a respectful manner.

Yes but only if there are competitors if the same business within a reasonable area

Private companies, it's their own funeral...

Yes people should be able to tell others about their religious beliefs and follow them.

Yes, although all customers deserve to be treated with equity.

Yes, but only if the request itself directly goes against their religious beliefs or practices.

Yes, provided they give a list of alternative local choices.

Yes, but the business must make an adequate effort to provide an alternative service

Yes, but only for private or small businesses

Yes, for a business where the request for certain artistic services violates the owners religious beliefs such a request decorate a Satan themed cake.

it depends like are they homophobic and/or racist? then it's ok. if theyre just homosexual and/or poc then f that

Yes, but only private businesses should have this ability.

yes, but the owner should try to post something to let customers know what is restricted/refused

They have every right to do so, but if it's a small community with few options they are being petty and should not be lauded for it.

No, but owner's should still have a right to religious freedom and only make exceptions related to customer assistance

Yes, unless that request involves simply denying service because the costumer is a member of a protected class

No, if a customer’s request is not a threat to human life or the business owner themselves, it is not right to discriminate

No, if the request is not a threat to human life or their business it isn’t right to discriminate

yes but it would depend

Only because this is their religion

Yes, but only in the sense of their Constitutional right to freedom of religion. As in Masterpiece cake shop v. Colorado Civil Rights.
