"...government has no role in expressing or even suggesting whether the religious ground for Phillips’ conscience-based objection is legitimate or illegitimate. The inference here is thus that Phillips’ religious objection was not considered with the neutrality required by the Free Exercise Clause."
The crux of this case boils down to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission essentially discounting the religious belief of the baker - including at times insulting it - in their ruling.
