The Justice Department argued that a for-profit business cannot lay claim to a religious belief.
Just because religious organizations are typically non-profits, that doesn't necessarily mean for-profits are prohibited from having religious beliefs. Besides, corporations are people (though I feel that's a ridiculous, misguided ruling); is the DOJ saying people cannot claim a religious belief now?

This is my favorite part of the article:
Ms. Kneich, who was billed as the first gay member of the council when she was elected in May 2011, did not respond to a request for comment. The council is a nonpartisan body.
Yeah, sounds like it.
