Can you (I mean you personally) exchange goods and services with people who don't share your beliefs? Assuming they've proven to act in good faith and for mutual benefit. Does their belief system enter into your decision?

And should individuals have the right to associate with whomever they wish for whatever reason they wish?

Can I do business with people who don't share my beliefs? Yeah. Does their belief system enter into that decision? Also yes. I left a job over that, even though I'm sure they thought they were acting for mutual benefit.

I'm not sure what association has to do with it (is this about "bloodlines"?). If that association is lawful (moral), then it should be legal.

There’s a tribal instinct in humans that should not be ignored, but there’s also a sense that killing others who are not the same as your tribe is wrong. Indeed there are several stories in the Old Testament where God calls on prophets to doomed cities to warn them. They read like “God’s a jerk for destroying them” but I’m realizing that they did it to themselves.
