Lots of folks seem to hate Clinton's bill-----What’s the Difference Between Federal and State RFRAs? And Other Questions Answered

What’s the Difference Between Federal and State RFRAs? And Other Questions Answered « Alliance Defending Freedom Blog
Earlier this week, we responded to three arguments from those who oppose state-level religious freedom laws. 
Today, we’ll answer more of your questions from the comments, Facebook, and Twitter:
Q: Yes or no – RFRAs have only been used to deny service to LGBT people, and just like Jim Crow laws, they could allow people to deny service because of their “sincerely held religious belief.”
No – the reason this keeps coming up is because many people don’t have accurate information on RFRAs, or they’re intentionally misrepresenting the law. 
The facts: this law doesn’t “pre-determine” winners and losers – it just gives both sides a fair hearing in court. 
It limits government power over citizens’ lives, unless there’s a compelling reason for the government to force someone to violate their religious belief.
Every American should have the freedom to live and work consistently with their faith.
Why wouldn’t someone support everyone having a fair hearing in court?

Much info about facts, not hate.
