In 1993 nam de federale regering de federale wet op het herstel van de godsdienstvrijheid aan. De wet was bedoeld om inheemse Amerikanen te beschermen die hun baan dreigden te verliezen vanwege religieuze ceremonies waarbij de illegale drug peyote betrokken was. In 1997 oordeelde het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof dat het Congres in 1993 zijn grenzen overschreed door de RFRA aan te nemen, en dat de wet alleen van toepassing was op federale wetten, niet op wetten die door de staten werden aangenomen. Sindsdien hebben 22 staten van de VS hun eigen versies van de "religieuze vrijheid"-w…

Yes, as long as that stance is posted prominently on the premises

i believe they should have the right to deny business but that doesn't make it the right thing to do.
@2JHYTWJ3 jaar3Y
Yes, unless denying service will affect the health and/or safety of that customer.
@2JHX88Y3 jaar3Y
As long as the business is not subsidized by the federal govt.
@2JHV3ZD3 jaar3Y
yes, but they can't complain when their shop gets boycotted and they lose all business.
@2JHRFZZ3 jaar3Y
Only if the policy is displayed on the outside of the building. That way a costumer does not have to enter an establishment with the expectation of service only to be turned away.

If a business wants to refuse revenue for any reason, that should be their choice. But when they go bankrupt due to the lost revenue, the government should not bail them out.
@2JHH7FN3 jaar3Y
if you're going to deny service to a group of people, then be honest and own it. make it public. "because of my religious beliefs i cannot offer services to homosexuals" for example. that way i won't even waste my time coming into your establishment and will simply go to someone who will offer me services
@2JHGV9F3 jaar3Y
Yes, any business should be able to deny service for any reason. But they also then accept the consequences of the publicity that their decision generates
@2JH4ZVK3 jaar3Y
Private and not govt run businesses should have the right to deny service to anyone .... Period! It is their business & govt & courts should not get involved. Most will still serve a person because they cannot afford to turn away business ... So let those few who do not wish to serve a person for any reason, do so. I would not even want a person to serve me if I knew they had such hate and distain for me, so why would I insist upon them serving me out of principal.
@2JH4JBG3 jaar3Y
As long as the business discriminates based upon all old testament activities equally: Wearing mixed cloths, women talking in church, women must wear hats, only eating animals with cloven hoof, if your brother dies suddenly you must impregnate his wife, etc. In other words, they must discriminate equally.
@2JH3GNV3 jaar3Y
If you own your own business, you have the right to refuse service to anyone without reason...
@2JGWPW43 jaar3Y
Yes do what u want. I just won't give them my business.
@2JDYQR33 jaar3Y
Yes, you can deny service to whomever you choose, but I have the right to call you on it and not give you my money. Free market economies are like that.
@2JDXT773 jaar3Y
A good business owner would not refuse any good paying customers
@2JDX7XN3 jaar3Y
Not if they are a public accommodation, accept public funding or are publically traded
@2JDWQDS3 jaar3Y
Privately owned businesses offering a non-essential (codified in law) product or service should be able to deny that product or service based on religious beliefs which they have demonstrably adhered (one could sue if they showed the business or it's owners have not applied their religious views uniformly or the religion is not recognized).
@2JDTYFP3 jaar3Y
In certain circumstances, Yes. Doctors/hospitals should be able to refuse to perform abortions. Churches should not have to recognize same sex marriages.
@2JDTKT83 jaar3Y
Yes, unless it gets any taxpayer money.
@2JDNGJX3 jaar3Y
It's a personal issue. I would not want to patronize a business that has bigoted ideas
@2JDD4MQ3 jaar3Y
Yes, as long as you are not providing a public service, like driving a taxi, medical care. If you are selling something that can easily be bought next door, then have at it.
@2JD9K2N3 jaar3Y
If you are in business you should not allow religion, sex, color, etc. influence how you treat your customers. You are entitled to your beliefs and they are to theirs. If your beliefs are so strong that you want to deny service then you need to have a private business where only those who subscribe to your beliefs can be served. Limits your business...your choice...
@2JCTBTJ3 jaar3Y
It depends on what that business is and whether or not that business gets any form of government subsidies. I don't want hospitals or doctors turning people away for any reason.
@2HZ5SZR3 jaar3Y
If your going to refuse work because you feel someone is living in sin (for being gay for example) then you have to refuse work for ALL sins that are against your religion. You shouldn't get to discriminate based on sexual orientation.
