I'm not suggesting they refuse service, I'm suggesting they should be able to refuse to customise their service in a specific way.

I'm an atheist. I wouldn't dream of going into a bakery run by Muslims and asking them to make me a cake with "there is no God!" piped on it.

If the law requires them to do that, then the law is wrong.

On the other hand, when it comes to essential service, I would have no hesitation entering a pharmacy staffed by a devout Catholic and asking for the morning after pill. And if they refused, I would sue the shit out of them.

This isn't about service. It's about being forced to modify your service, and offer a product that you don't normally sell.
