Isn't that what we have done though ? if practicing a religion and the beliefs that go with it causes discrimination then that religion takes a back seat to civil rights ,that is how i see this result ,intended or not practicing their religious beliefs has caused the couple to fall foul of the law so their beliefs take second place
