Parallels with refusal to perform abortions

There are some parallels here with the refusal of Catholic hospitals and Catholic and other doctors who refuse to perform abortions on religious grounds. Only in those cases, there is a threat of loss of government funding.

If secular law is going to be the societal norm, it should apply to all equally, regardless of religion.
