Today I read a piece in which they argue that the best way to dissuade people from this nonsense is not to focus on Christians, but to make the argument focusing on Muslims: If this law passes, a Muslim cabdriver could refuse to transport someone carrying alcohol, or a women traveling alone, or some such, because it violates the cab driver’s religious freedom. That shuts ’em up pretty quick.
