The  stated mission of the Hobby Lobby case was to protect religious  liberty, and different folks apparently have their own way of exercising  their religious freedom.
 
 Clergy from the United Church of Christ and Unitarian  Universalists – both very liberal denominations – led a protest outside a  Hobby Lobby in Aurora, Illinois, handing out condoms, the Daily Herald  reported.
 
 “I’m just hoping that people who see the demonstration realize  that this opinion of Hobby Lobby’s owners is not the opinion of  religious people as a broad spectrum, but that religious people have  many different opinions,” Rev. Emmy Lou Belcher, a Unitarian  Universalist pastor told the Daily Herald.
 
 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that Hobby Lobby could not  be required under the Obamacare law to pay for contraception and  abortion-inducing drugs for their employees if they have a religious  objection.
 
 Hobby Lobby itself had no problem with paying for 16 of the 20  contraceptives that the health care law requires employers to cover.  However, the high court’s ruling protects the religious liberties in  accordance with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of closely held  private companies to opt out of this portion of the Affordable Care Act.
 
 “You can make the religious freedom argument, you can make the  argument about contraception, but ultimately, for me, this is about  power,” said Rev. Mark Winters, a United Church of Christ minister.  “Jesus had a lot of issue with powerful people using power over the  powerless.”
 
 The religious left mobilized after the decision came down.
 
 Think Progress reported that the progressive Christian group  Faithful America also organized a protest outside Hobby Lobby’s flagship  store in Edmond, Oklahoma, immediately after the ruling Monday.
