All of this with the understanding that the church should in no way be affiliated with the state.
Also are there any other countries that allow citizens to break their laws in the name of “religious beliefs” or are we (USA) alone with that methodology?
I’ll assume the logic is discrimination, if religion is separate, how is it still labeled discrimination if the law doesn’t recognize religion?

What clause or provision entertains discrimination claims regarding religion?

He has a for-profit business where he speaks on different subjects and charges money for the seminars but most of them are at the church. Isn’t that illegal?
The pastor is charging $89.00 per person for this event.
