You are talking about a person who holds a public position. That is completely different from the way people worship and practice their religion in their private lives. I respect the fact that her religious convictions preclude her from issuing same sex marriage licenses. But, that does not exempt her from doing her job. It's like people who work in a grocery store that sells alcohol and tobacco. If they choose to work in that business then their religious convictions do not exempt them from handling and ringing up those items.
Civil disobedience would be appropriate if they came into the church and tried to force a same sex marriage.

| I think the questions in the article I linked to are much better stated than I could state. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. |

The questions in the article you linked render themselves irrelevant to the conversation because they are patently biased.
For example look at Question 1 which stated: If, as many conservatives argue, Obergefell v. Hodges is a legal abomination, and there is no right to same-sex “marriage” in the Constitution, isn’t Davis actually seeking to uphold the constitutional order, the one that we wrote down so we wouldn’t lose it.
The fact is regardless of what most conservatives would argue, including myself, the SC found constitutional grounds (via the equal protection clause) for their ruling. Kim Davis has not been appointed to uphold constitutional order. She was elected to do her job.
I could go on and refute every question in that article if I had the time.
