Corporations are an association of people who work together as people and hire people to produce goods and services for people. It is the people of the corporation who are responsible for the corporations policies. There is no such thing as a corporation not comprised of people. It is people who will suffer the penalties imposed on corporations, and people who will enjoy the profits or bear the losses incurred by their corporation.

You may have gone to college with some of the people who make up various corporations. If they were Hobby Lobby people, they might not have been party animals.

And that is the reason why hobby lobby should not be exempt from this.. hobby lobby practices no religion.

The PEOPLE who own and run the company do practice a religion. It is their decision to set policy for the company. And those policies reflect on those people, and is a product of who those people are. There is no such thing as a corporate policy which is instituted by non-persons.

BTW, have you ever gone to college or party with a government, or a mom-and-pop store, or a glass-blowing business?

That is actually a point that adresses the constitutionality of the issue, instead of attacking the character of the owners. I respect that.

Unfortunately for you, your assumption that there is no correlation between corporations and the people who own them, has been settled by the Supreme Court, and not in your favor. In the recent and famous "Citizens United" case, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations, like people, have a first amendment right to free speech, and can exercise that right in the form of campaign contributions.

If business owners, via the companies they own, have the right to free speech...by what logic would they not also have the right to freedom of religion?
