Sorry, but you missed the point. Religion A says that pill X is against their religion. Insurance company is a Religion A organization, but government says that Insurance company cannot refuse to give pill X regardless of what they believe. In short, the government has decided that you must provide a service you believe is immoral.
Anytime the government mandates that people do something they believe is immoral, I believe the law should be very carefully examined. Do I agree with their opinion of what is immoral? No. But this is a question of how free our society is, and specifically whether the government has the authority to force an organization to go against their religious beliefs.
Obamacare is something that is particularly problematic for religious organizations. It is the one of the first times our legislature has ever mandated that organizations must provide a service, which is problematic enough in itself, but further it specifies that organizations must provide a service contrary to their religious beliefs.
Whether you agree with Religion A or not, the important question is whether the government should have the authority to tell you what you must do even if you believe it is immoral. Flip the argument around and you're asking whether the government has the right to demand that you tithe to the Roman Catholic church regardless of what you believe. If they have the right to demand you do one thing against your beliefs, then they have the right to do others. The seperation of church and state was supposed to keep the government from dictating what activity you must participate in. Are you sure you want a government that has decided to ignore that separation?
