...it's pretty clear that the poster was instead answering the question, "When should your religion legally excuse you from doing part of your job?".
If you don't want to deal with someone answering such a variation on the question, you don't have to "indulge" that. But simply recognizing what was going on, that someone was making a very typical sort of conversational aside, is not an indulgence, it's common sense.
Did you really, honestly not get what was going on? Or did you understand, but somehow think it was necessary to express your impatience with what was going on by pretending not to understand?
As for the what the article itself says, as far as my lack of legal expertise allows me to judge, I'd guess it's a competent analysis of the current state of the law in matters of religious accommodations, and the article fills in some things I hadn't heard about before when it comes to government employees.
Beyond that, the only comments I'd care to make would also go into the terrible category of personal opinions about what should be the case. I won't put you through the apparently terribly strain of having to "indulge" such comments.
