I know a few people that have strong religious beliefs and that fine to a point. But what they are out on in the picture is that on legal level if allowed, this will snow ball in to something far worse. Example: A black family tries to buy a house in a predominantly white Mormon town, the bank, and realtor are owned by Mormons. The family meets all of the legal and financial qualifications, but because of their skin color. Now the the family is protected against this by federal law and can prove that race based discrimination was the cause here. But they still could lose in court based off of a religious belief from the early days of the Mormon religion, that people of dark skin were considered to be cursed by god. Meaning that the bank and the realtor can legally use racist practices under the protection of their religious beliefs. That's why this thing in Kentucky is so dangerous, if she gets to keep her job and continues to denies those marriage licenses more of this will spread into other segments of society. I wonder how Canada handles this crap?
