Where does religious (corporate) freedom reach it's limits?

BIg government creates a law that infringes on religious freedoms? IIn the case of Hobby Lobby, it is infringing on the religious rights of a corporation to infringe it's religious requirements on it's employees.

What about Big Goverments rules that infringes on the rights of religious liberty to provide ANY health care at all? Recently documented cases of deaths where health care is denied because of waiting of the good will of God or Christ to intervene. Lets say these people own a business and they don't believe in health care at all...is that what should be permitted?

If corporations are people (....my friends, fuck Mittens), how could these religious exemptions not then be extended to individuals and their myriad of religious preferences? How is any law of the land then to be implemented without steppng on any religious toes....eye for an eye, stoning, cutting off hands, child brides, genital mutilation, tax evasion, etc etc etc?
