But the bill probably doesn't say anything about belief or religion.

You can infer it, and you would probably be right, but in a court of law, your inference holds no water.

If a company, any company, rejects key provisions of the act, they get the tax break.

The Republicans are sly, they know now, after many failures, if they put religion in the bill, it would get tossed out.
