"It's worse that that. An employee could make up a cockamamie "relgious" excuse for goofing off all day and nobody would be able to do anything about it."
This is incorrect and pretty ignorant coming from someone on these forums.
Here is an article that has a really good overview of the bill and why it came about. It does not allow for any person, to deny any service, for any religious reason. It does not allow for cockamamie religious excuses to goof off all day. It simply protects individuals from participating in events that violate their conscience and this protection must pass certain legal hurdles in order to be upheld:
1) They must be a sincerely held religious belief (annihilates the cockamamie religious excuse talking point)
2) There is no compelling government interest, which pretty much annihilates denying anyone for any reason argument.
Here is the actual text of the bill, so that you may look for yourself.
