The middle ground for such instances would be for the religious business owner to ensure that they do not serve ANY customers something that they know they would discriminate over.
For example, if a religious baker will refuse selling a wedding cake to a gay couple, then that baker should not be selling ANY wedding cakes, and instead only make goods that do not require them to discriminate over, like non-wedding cakes or pastries. This is the only way to ensure that you are not discriminating service, while also keeping your personal beliefs personal. If, however, an owner will always discriminate, regardless of product or service, then they simply should not be in business at all to begin with, since a business should only be serving what they know they won't discriminate with.
After all, the right OF religion also means the right FROM religion. Just as much as you have the right to believe and practice your religion, everyone else has the right to be free from your religion.
