Private or not, they'd get in deep for refusing business based on race or religion. I don't see this as any different.

First off, you can change your religion. Whoever told you otherwise lied.

Secondly, Wal-Mart can't throw me out of the store based on my political stances. Les Schwab can't refuse to fix my tire based on my political stances. I fail to see how BoA is some kind of an exception here.
