Personally, I thought the crux of the issue was that corporations are allowed to express "religious affiliations" and impose them on their employees. I saw it more as the broadening of corporations' rights, and the very phrase "corporations' rights" feels wrong to me. I do not believe a corporation should have the same rights as a person. To me in a way that then allows a corporation to become a personhood monopoly especially when they are then allowed to impose their views on their employees. "We have the rights of a person but we employ thousands of people and we can now refuse to grant certain services to those people." Despite what the rights of those individual people are supposed to be. It's like, due to employment by a corporation, the corporation's rights can then supercede the rights of their employees.
