Businesses and Religious Freedom

The video discusses how business entities are recognized as separate from their owners but possess rights similar to individuals, including religious freedoms. This was highlighted in the Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby case, where the court ruled that closely held businesses could hold religious beliefs. The case arose when Hobby Lobby objected to certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act, claiming they violated their religious beliefs. The court's decision established that businesses could have religious rights, requiring laws that infringe on these rights to meet specific justification levels.

In what way can a closely held business entity express the religious beliefs of its owners?

What must a law meet in order to be constitutional if it violates a business's religious beliefs?
