A better wording is “getting extra protections”. Corporations with religious owners have argued their way out of paying for health insurance that covers contraceptives. A high school coach can make a big show of prayer right in the middle of the field (and yes, that’s what he was doing; it wasn’t private at all) and the Supreme Court will say that’s fine. Literal torture is allowed if you call it “gay conversion therapy”
What the Satanic Temple does is turn all that around. Fine, you get all this stuff under the name of religion? Then so do we. If you think that’s ridiculous, well, yes, it is.

That makes more sense to me, thanks. All stuff I personally wouldn’t do, but that’s me.
