Do Businesses Have the Right to Refuse Service Based on Moral/Religious Objections?

If the business, club, organization, not-for-profit, religious group receives ANY money from local, state or federal entities and/or ANY tax breaks from any government entity, they cannot refuse to provide services/goods to anyone for any reason (except for health/safety laws).

Religious groups are free to use 'against my religion' for whatever they want, however they cannot be a non-profit. Not-for-profit status is a tax break. I do not believe this is against the 1st Amendment as it does not infringe on religious freedom.
