Agreed. The whole idea of religious liberty is asinine. Sure, you can believe whatever you want, but the moment you step outside or open your mouth, you're in the real world and you need to handle yourself appropriately. I don't care if inside, you hate every gay person that ever existed, that doesn't need to be spewed all over the place through your gaping pie hole. Should racists just be able to declare their racism "religious liberty" and expect to be able to practice it openly? How about misogynists? Where do you draw the line? Discrimination is abhorrent no matter why you do it, just sticking a religious label on it doesn't make it any better.
A lot of these people in the military need to grow the hell up and get over it. Reality works just fine guys, enough of your idiotic testosterone-laden immaturity.
In fact, not very long ago at all in the grand scheme of things, racists used to do just that:
Using the Bible to justify slavery. Slavery in the Bible and early Christianity
We broke them of it, though, and Christianity somehow survived, rallied, and even- arguably- thrived.
It'll similarly survive this latest blow, I suspect. More's the pity.
