Religious freedom? No. It’s called discrimination.

Baker who refused to make cake for gay wedding: 'I don't discriminate'

Of course you don't. You're just a precious little tolerant oppressed snowflake.

It's beyond me why would anyone be such an asshole and poor business person* not to bake a cake for anyone who wants it? And why would anyone be so weak minded and silly as to let a fairy story rule their life and business? AND why not STEP UP and force bigots out into the open and expose their shameful business practices ruled by zealotry?

* Granted, it's not exactly poor business if your key demographic is religious bigots.

Is there really a way to eradicate this sort of 17th century theocracy from American politics? Do you see that happening within the next century? Or am I being too optimistic?

Freedom of speech and association. At the same time I think it's the best way to "force bigots out into the open and expose their shameful business practices ruled by zealotry?" Let them proudly advertise it.

Also it was part of the discussion in this case decision because the same Oregon's rights commission that found this guy guilty for refusing to make a cake with a message he did not like also found not guilty 3 bakers that refused to make cakes with anti-gay quotes(or references) from Bible. So it is all derives from the anti-discrimination laws where protection of unique to the protected group activity is extended based on the protection of the group itself by the law.
