Should a business be able to deny service to a customer if the request conflicts with the owner’s religious beliefs?

No, the purpose of a business is to make profit, not yo

If they are a private company.

Yes, but only if they are private businesses.

Yes, if they are a private business/company.

Yes, if said business is private.

Yes, any business should be able to deny service for any reason, as long as they apply this denial of service consistently and without exceptions.

Yes, but only if the business sells basic necessities

Yes, but only for small businesses (fewer than 50 employees) or religious organizations (i.e., those whose main purpose is to study or advance religion). Religious employees and owners of standard, non-religious businesses, however, should not be allowed to refuse service to a customer even if the request conflicts with the owner's religious beliefs.

Yes, but ALL registered religions should be recognized and treated with the respect demanded by 'mainstream' religions

Yes, if the company/business is a private one.

If said business is a private one.

Only if they are a private company.

A private company can

If they are private.

It's complicated. It depends on the type of service. Creative services like art work should be something a business can refuse to provide.

If they are a private business.

If they are a private company

If they are a private business not a public one.

No, unless the request involves obscenities

Yes, if said business is a private one.

yes if business is private.

If the business is a private one

No. 1st amendment

Yes, if they are a private company they can do whatever they want.

Yes, but only for small or privately owned businesses

Yes, but only on the customers beliefs and personal choices. Shouldn't include ethnicity or sex.

Yes, but only if it the service being provided directly involves an opposition of their religious beliefs (e.g. custom making a wedding cake for a gay couple or making a custom shirt that says something like, 'I'm gay and proud')

Yes, but I find it hard to believe narrow-minded shop owners or businessman should be running a business in the first place. Financially, it's not strategic and it's just dumb to turn down a paying customer.

no unless they are posing a threat

Sure, but it's not good business.

Do you think businesses should be allowed to refuse service based on their religious beliefs, or should personal beliefs stay separate from public business?

How would you feel if a belief important to you didn’t align with the law—should personal faith ever override legal requirements?

Could there be a risk in allowing religious freedom laws to create exceptions for some people but not others?

In what ways might religious freedom laws be used to protect both religious practices and the rights of minority communities?

How do you think the balance between protecting religious belief and preventing discrimination should be handled in today’s society?

Do you think there’s a difference between protecting religious practices and allowing religious-based discrimination in public spaces?

If you were denied service because of someone’s religious beliefs, how would you feel about their freedom to do so?

Should the government get involved when religious beliefs and public services conflict, or should this be left up to the business and customer?

Do you believe religious freedom laws should adapt as societal views change, or should they remain consistent over time?

How do you think different cultural or religious groups might experience religious freedom laws in different ways, and what challenges might that pose?

No, a business may only deny service if they still adhere to anti-discrimination laws

No, and denying a potential new customer based on religion is financial nonsense.

No, and doing so is financial nonsense.

Yes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse AND allow customers the right to sue if their request isn't illegal and the owner doesn't tell the customer what they refuse.

No, there is no right to discriminate.

Yes, businesses should be able to deny services for any reason. As such, customers have every right to refuse to do business with them as well.

The person they are denying must be openly pushing their views.

If an organization tries to make reasnable accomodation, you shouldnt be able to just troll them for the sake of trolling them and expect to get what you want. you could just as easily get what you want by witholding certain information of your own.

Yes, but they should be respectful about it and recommend them to a company with similar items

No, only if the customer holds discriminatory beliefs. [Racist, Anti LGBTQ+, Anti-Semitic, etc]

only private companies, not publicly traded ones

I honestly think they should be able to but at the same time all customers deserve to be treated the same.

No, in situations of protected classes

yes, as long as the denial is not based on race, sex, gender or sexual orientation

No, that would be discrimination based on religion

private businesses can, public not

I heavily disagree with it, but they have the right as a private business

No, this would require the government determining even further what is and is not a religion and religious belief, thus leading to greater government control over religion, contrary to what the right-wing activists claim to desire.

Yes, but only in regards to abortion and the LGBT agenda.

Yes, in the case of a violation of Constitutional liberties.

Yes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse. They should not be allowed to refuse service to a person for any reason, only to a request

No, if a customer’s request is not a threat to human life or the business owner themselves, it is not right to discriminate

Yes, but only for reasons of free speech, such as artisans asked to promote disagreeable messages with their work

No, unless the service would inherently require the business owner or an employee to make a statement of support, e.g. writing a message on a cake.

If the person is trying to do something inappropriate, the business should kick him out, but if the owner is a christian saying that an atheist that walked into the must be christian too, then no.

I think pastors and such should not be required to accept jobs at same sex weddings but in some business it shouldn't matter what their religious beliefs are

Yes, but only if the service is intrinsically linked to the violation of belief. A grocery store owner refusing to sell to LGBTQ+ individuals is unconstitutional, but a wedding venue denying the same service is more of a grey area.

Yes, but only if the request itself violates the beliefs and not the customer. Also require a sign stating what is refused.

Yes, businesses should be able to deny service as long as the refusal is based off of the request itself and not the individual making the request

I think this is solely up to the business

Only because this is their religion

Yes provided they all have papers outside of their stores stating how disrespectful and spiteful they are to actual human beings because they believe an imaginary friend of theirs approves.

Yes, but only to artisanal products or services that are neither custom nor mass-produced that are being provided.

Yes, but only to artisanal products or services that are custom or not mass-produced that are being provided.

Yes but only if it requires custom work; ie a Christain baker must provide a generic wedding cake for a gay wedding but shouldn't have to do a specific custom cake

Yes, everyone has the right to follow their own beliefs and refuse service if it clashes with what they believe in.

Yes, but only if the service provided constitutes speech or expression

yes, all customers deserve to be treated equally, but if the request of service is against the owner's religious beliefs then it should be the choice of the owner.

Yes but only religious beliefs.

Yes, but only in the sense of their Constitutional right to freedom of religion. As in Masterpiece cake shop v. Colorado Civil Rights.

Yes, so long as the religion does not discriminate against race, gender, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity.

Only if the business is religious in nature, like a church

A business can have the right to refuse service as long as the act is not based on discrimination.

No, unless the act itself is specifically against the religion and has nothing to do with whom the service is for.

no, everybody deserves to be treated equally unless under strict beliefs that don't allow them to be served by someone

I think it should be applied only when the beliefs intervene with the stores policies and regulations, as an example many people denying wearing masks because it goes against their beliefs and that goes as well against stores regulations.

Yes, but only if that reason is not one that comes form discrimination.

Yes, if the act violates their religious beliefs.

A private business has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason

No, unless the customer gets violent

Yes, a business should have the right to refuse service. However, the proprietor of the business should explicitly state their beliefs and the identifiers for people he will not serve either in front of their business, through their advertising, or through their website.

i feel that every person has the right to their own religious beliefs, and if someone is attacking them, then they have the right to deny or refuse their service.

yes but it would depend

They cannot discriminate against race, sex, or country of origin. However, if gender identity interferes with religious beliefs, they can refuse service.

Only if it's affecting their beliefs and causing them to not feel belief freedom, but if they just have a different opinion they can not deny service.

If the business receives any funding -that is not mandatory - from the federal government, or if the company goes public then no. If it is solely a private business and primary self sufficient w/o going public then yes.

No, only if those beliefs are bigoted

No, but only if those views are bigoted

No, but businesses should be allowed to deny service to those with bigoted views
