Hint: this case is not about whether “religious corporations” generally should be exempted from anything. “Religious” corporations are those that engage in some sort of religion-based activity (operating a church, or temple, for example; or a school that teaches in accordance with some religious principles; etc.). They generally are non-profit, tax-exempt entities that were already exempt from the relevant statutory health care requirement that was addressed in the Hobby Lobby case. The Hobby Lobby company is not a “religious corporation” in the traditional meaning of that term – it is a for-profit commercial business. Its owners are a family that has religious beliefs, and they stated that they wanted to operate their commercial for-profit business in accordance with their religious principles. Read the dissents as well as the majority opinion – only the majority opinion expresses the rule/decision of the court, but the dissent helps you get a sense of what was at issue and was decided in this case.
