Which I don't think is nearly as robust a ruling for religion.
But I'm no lawyer.
i agree with you.
but, for purposes of government ruling, maybe this is the better way .. then, to leave it to churches and believers to (do our jobs) .. without over reliance on gov mandates? ..
unfortunately, once gov gets involved, so does taxpayer money, which ends with gov demands to comply with gov policies (on threat of losing funding!) .. it sadly becomes a vicious cycle.
and, somehow, God’s will definitely gets put to the side.
so, “be careful what you wish for,” remains relevant.
