Do a search in the text of ACA and you will find "religious employer" appears 0 times.
The regulations that supplement ACA use the term "religious employer" but they don't import it from anywhere - rather they define it right in the same regulation. And we've already looked at those regulations. There is nothing in them that says that they (HHS) believe there is a constitutional right; rather they just describe some facts and then they choose to make an accommodation.
And just because they grant an exemption (and apparently think it is constitutional to do so) doesn't imply that they think they were required to by the Constitution.
You make all these claims but haven't provided anything to support them. I'd ask you to provide the support but the fact is that you won't be able to because there is no such support for them.
