The government needs to stop pandering to any religion. There should only be 1 law and no exceptions given anyone for any reason. Mega-churches are just a way for tax cheats to get mega-rich. Religions use the confidentiality clause to harbor and aid pedophiles. Polygamist sects use religious protection to bilk the government out of welfare and food stamps. They all claim to believe in God so much, tell them all to let God take care of them because, the government will no longer be funding their choice of life style.

People in this country have been browbeaten into believing that a right and a choice are the same thing. Religion is a choice! There of thousands of them to choose from and new ones being invented every day by cunning con artist. Religious freedom means you are free to believe anything you want, it doesn't mean you are free take advantage of others in the name of religion.
