The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to exempt the nuns because it considered their understanding of their own religious beliefs “unconvincing.”That's just the kind of thing that is going to bring this situation to a head.
UPDATE: It's not just nuns.
Coming to the fore over issues of personal identity, most saliently in relation to the gay-rights movement, same-sex marriage, and transgender rights, it has resulted in a legal battle in which the radioactive charge of “discrimination,” borrowed from the civil-rights movement of the 1960s, is wielded as a weapon to isolate, impugn, and penalize dissenting views held by Americans of faith and informing the conduct of their religious lives.
Jews are hardly the only group at risk from developments in this area of progressive agitation; up till now, its main targets have been believing Christians.

The moment Americans start to slip off the righteous path and start sacrificing human children to some deus ex machina Bhaal look a like using Aztec Blood magic for profit... well, the consequences are to be expected.
Even the Jews that want to solve this problem, can only look at it in terms of human made laws, not divine ones. Which is why they will fail and also fall, with the rest of the nation.
