There is nothing anti-religious about politicians seeking to protect the health of their constituencies by limiting the number of congregants in a closed space during a pandemic; what’s anti-religious is to use God as an excuse for doing something that you know could harm people.

IMO the "religious expression" argument was just taking advantage of 1A, and only applies to religious institutions. The real issue is lack of equal application, selective enforcement for seemingly political or ideological reasons. Most instances do not involve religion.

Especially when technology allows congregations to meet virtually.

When they disproportionally target religious institutions and groups like New York has been doing, it is bigoted. Also, all of these restrictions are unconstitutional-adults can asses their own risks in life and decide for themselves what they do

Equal protection under the law. Don’t be so partisan. It reveals your bias in a negative way!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yeah, like the courts allowing private religious schools to stay open while others close!

And not just the people who choose to go in close spaces..they will also infect others who are trying to not be super spreaders..

Can we just stop talking about religion all together? It's just a bunch of book clubs that got out of hand.
