You are skirting the profanity rule.What a load of bovine excrement.
Religion doesn't make discrimination acceptable or justifiable.
As far as the other, you aren't correct. It isn't just Christianity. Many Jews moved back to Israel because of this. Many Amish still live apart from the world and carry out business only between themselves.
I don't know why me baking 'you' a cake is a right. It is just me, providing a service, for whoever I choose to do so with. I would not, by example, write about other sins in a positive manner on a cake. I would not write the Lord's name as a curse, though this very law can fine me for being discriminatory. I would not write a profanity on a cake, though this very law can fine me for being 'discriminatory.' The fact is, my religious convictions do cause me to be discriminatory: "...in the world but not of it."
Again, you are mistaken, convictions often have us choosing not to hang around certain people and they aren't always religious. What if I don't want to bake a cake with a bong on it? "Sorry, you have to!" The law isn't fair at this point because I might have a relative harmed by this activity.
It is wrong to not take into account 'why' someone has a hard time with certain kinds of people and activities. A lot of our vets have a hard time around groups they had to fight against. To be completely insensitive to discrimination, is itself hurtful and discriminatory.
You are trying to force others to share your convictions. It ain't gonna happen but you are an oddball in thinking it 'should' happen. You are nobody's center for morality that we should desire to be like you or 'need' to be like you. You are a strange guy.
Learn to say it without being profane or with only a cursory once-over glance that requires nothing of you than your standard 'nuh uh' retort.
