For me It would be akin to being asked to create an announcement for the KKK.

Still not specific enough.
EXACTLY what are you being asked to do, and EXACTLY what is your sincerely held religious belief that prohibits you from doing it?
We can't answer your question if you're just going to pussyfoot around and make us drag it out of you. Spit it out.
create designs for groups that are against marriage as I define it according to my beliefs.
Nope, sorry, not religious discrimination.
All that beating around the bush for this? Really? If you're so courageous and full of religious conviction that you don't think you should have to work on the project, it shouldn't have taken us this many posts to beat your problem out of you.
But no. "I don't define marriage like that" is not the same as needing time off for Mass on Ash Wednesday, or needing to scoot out the door before sundown on Friday because you're very strictly observant.
You're being so cagey about things, it's impossible to really gauge what's going on, how it offends your beliefs, or whether it's something your employer could reasonably accommodate. You went to your employer and said, "It interferes with my sincerely held religious beliefs to design... something... for groups that 'are against marriage as I define it'." Then your employer responded: ______?
If the original poster works in a state where same sex marriage is legal - and the poster refuses to accommodate this customer - then could the OP be sued for violating the customer's civil rights? just curious.
I should think that would depend upon the way the refusal was presented?
"I'm sorry, we simply haven't enough personnel to handle this project right now, but we can send you to company XYZ." would fall under the right to refuse service.
"We don't like yer kind, homo. Now git!", not so much.
My religioous beliefs are that marriage is between a man and a woman. If I am creating something that goes against that it is in opposition to my beliefs.
