Religious Liberty Doesn’t Have to Make Polarization Worse - CToday

CT articles can be difficult to access, so a bit more. Thought this was insightful:

Support for religious liberty claims also grows when the key limiting facts of cases are made clear. For example, with respect to small businesses and same-sex weddings, the Public Religion Research Institute asks respondents broadly whether businesses should be able “to refuse to provide products or services to gay or lesbian people” and finds, unsurprisingly, that clear majorities of up to 65 percent “have consistently opposed” that refusal. But when the Becket Fund asks whether a vendor can refuse a specific wedding-related activity—for example, an Orthodox Jewish restaurant declining to cater a reception or a website designer declining to create a wedding site—it finds that around 70 percent support religious liberty. And the claims in the real cases involve specific services. Those who went to court did, in fact, provide other “products and services to gay or lesbian people.”
