See? Right behind what you quoted... It literally says I can exercise whatever religion/faith/spirituality/atheism/agnosticism/scientology/anything else or none of the above I want.
Oh course you can.
There is no law denying anyone of belief, any belief.
Acting on that belief - - well, that's different.
Making the owner of a private enterprise do business as others see fit is acting on a belief. The idea that a private owners religious beliefs are neutralized and negated simply because they are engaged in commerce is very constitutionally challengeable.
The Bible, however, is not repetitive in that way.

The Bible is an inanimate object. Its repetitiveness is conducted through people espousing it through churches and other avenues. Obviously. If you followed my critique to your post you'd see how that's the pertinent idea..
Again, per your own post 'brainwashing' entails such action.
It's no surprise religious instruction starts with young children for this purpose. It's inline with your own link. This is 'brainwashing'. You indoctrinate children with belief systems through repetitiveness. Just as your link described. It's very effective.

scenario:
gay person decides to live celibate, opens a public business but decides not to cater gay events - to eliminate temptation. can you hear a judge telling him he 's not allowed to be prejudiced against himself? hehe
