A lot of people applaud this bill, but what would they think if a Muslim baker were to refuse service to a Christian? There would be a nationwide uproar if such a thing happened. This bill is just a way to discriminate against others and hopefully it will quickly backfire.

Who knows?
Like all laws, it would depend on how a court would apply the law to a case like this.
If a court reached a decision that went against the common sense of many people, as happened in the New Mexico case, many people would try to change the law.
No, I can't think of any case where it would be acceptable to deny service to a black person. Even if a black person showed up at a KKK rally, they should be allowed to purchase a burger at the snack bar.
So why is it OK to discriminate against LGBT people when if you replaced that term with "black" in any of these scenarios, it would not be acceptable?

No minority faith would ever take advantage of this bill. They couldn't. There would be FAR too much backlash.
Again it is only an owner of the business that has those rights. Employees do not unless they can afford to lose their jobs.
I have no problem with that. I have not suggested otherwise. If you cannot, in good conscience, work somewhere that sells a product you disagree with you need to get a different job.
I have personally done that myself. I have declined a 2nd interview in a company after finding out what they made.
