... no? It would be a law more or less targeting a particular religion. That's against both the letter and the spirit of the constitution. Unless I'm missing something here?

Serious question: Why can't they? They're groups of people after all. (I'm not sure how that would fit with protected classes under federal employment law though. If a company openly supports a particular religion is that potentially a form of discrimination?)
- ummonk 6y agoThat's the point of the analogy. Rights like freedom of religion and freedom of speech must extend to corporations as well.
- Reelin 6y agoI tend to agree, but I think (perhaps mistakenly) that OP was trying to illustrate via analogy that it's more complicated than that. I wasn't able to see the point being made with the analogy though (hence my reply).
- 8note 6y agoI'd see it as infringing on the religious shopper's rights rather than the corporations though. That makes it towards impossible to practice your religion
