And/or did the government decide to push their politics and religion on Hobby Lobby via their healthcare legislation?

Absolutely, because politics is what government is specifically for, unlike, say, toy stores and individual people doing their non-government jobs.

(edit: not endorsing either the government's position, just saying that yes, government is exactly where we see politics being forced on things)

Then it's worth noting that it is easier for a person to change which employer they work for than a business owner to change which government creates laws that apply to their business.

I accept, though, that corporations are artificial constructs that exist (ostensibly) to benefit humans, and therefore placing restrictions and duties on corporations is inherently preferable to placing them on humans themselves.
