'Religious liberty' includes the freedom of communities to impose their own moral judgments & social norms. 'Equal protection under the law' means everyone must be immune to those judgments & norms. There is no credible way to reconcile these conflicting principles. Never was.

We agree to some of that discrimination under the principles of free association and free speech, which include our choice of whom we employ, with whom we worship, and what we say or write. When we insist on uniformity (which isn't the same as equality), we become theocratic. 1/2

Equal protection was meant to guarantee free exercise of those rights. It has since been reinterpreted to mean uniformity of outcomes. That isn't really the same thing. What we're building is something like a secular theocracy. 2/2
