There is a difference between using religious beliefs to exempt yourself from the laws (e.g., we should be allowed to smoke peyote b/c of our religion; we should be able to have our kids work because of our religion) and the govt FORCING you to do something that is against your religious beliefs (e.g., distribute/pay for birth contol).  In your analogy the govt is NOT ALLOWING  individuals to do something, while with respect to the HHS mandate the govt is FORCING individuals to do something.  So your analogy breaks down, at least under current first amendment jurisprudence.

What about muslim women who want the freedom to go through security in burqas?  Wnat their face to be covered in driver's license photos.  Don't want to unveil when they testify in court. It's part of their religion.  We are forcing them to show us their faces.  Do you think they should be free to be veiled always?

Of course the government should make them take off those damn burqas. They aren't Christians. They are Muslims dammit and not entitled to the same religious exemptions as us worthy Christians. How dare you compare them to us. [/quote]
