They didn't care to remove this investment because this investment was making them a lot of money.
And their employees.

You already know the answer of course. The whole purpose of religion is to control people and make money for the lord!

A precedence has been established that for profit corporations can modify health benefits based on religious beliefs. If you cant understand the impact of this I am sorry.

Forget the religious smoke screen. My real concern is that this could be the beginning of companies trying to back out of providing overall health care. Like well you are gay and gays have a higher rate of aids then non-gays so we will not cover you as you are gay. You played sports in school so you prone to having knee problems so we will not cover you as you played sports in high school. You are a women and chances are you might get pregnant so we will not cover you as you are a women.
