In real life the court simply chose not to hear a losing case and
chose to hear a better one.
This one does not involve church and state, simply a corporation and
what rights they have to respect their own values.

If this was a case where a corporation did not want to hire gun owners
or smokers (both legal activities) you would support the corporation
and there are certainly more court sanctioned protections for
prospective employees than people wanting company supplied abortion or
birth control.

Of course it involves religion. Hobby Lobby is shoving its religious
beliefs onto its employees.

Nobody is forcing anyone to work there. This is not the steel mill
that controls a majority of jobs in a town, it is a minor retailer
that employs a minor fraction of the retail workers in that particular
strip mall and a totally insignificant part of the population as a
whole. Based on my experience with "religious" companies here, my
guess is they don't even have any employees who want this coverage.
The godly companies here are pretty particular about who they hire.
They just don't want to pay for something they will never use.

Your points are...pointless. Hobby Lobby is just another business. What
if its management decides to violate child labor laws? Would that be ok
with you?
