Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is still fretting about the consequences of Obergefell v. Hodges, the court’s landmark 2015 decision establishing a right to same-sex marriage. In practice, the precedent is safe for the foreseeable future. There are, at most, only two justices on the court who would vote to overturn it.

But Alito’s concerns nevertheless raise an important question that keeps bubbling up to the court in one way or another: In a post-Obergefell world, how should the law treat people who still believe that God considers homosexuality a sin? Does that religious view inherently constitute bigotry or bias? And should a sincere religious belief be treated any differently than secular homophobia?
