Doesn't matter what the law is about.
We're discussing law primarily about religion secondarily. Your previous objection is therefore ridiculous.
Religion is a (strange) hobby, as far as I am concerned. There is no difference. And as pointed out elsewhere, apparently current case law supports my view on this manner, since you seem to be impressed with authority.

Ok
We are done. The impasse is obvious. The "no difference" position is what it all boils down to and I don't see any way of convincing you of the error of your conviction.

...
You're treating religious groups differently. This is, by all definitions applicable, discrimination. The Constitution specifically disallows this kind of discrimination. I'm at a loss as to how you can't see that.
Impasse indeed. You've managed to present nothing that explains why your position isn't illogical, yet you're convinced that my "conviction" is in error. None so blind...

I agree with your point, Don.
Not all "clubs" and "hobbies" are equivalent. Plug in "man boy love" or "child porn photo exchange" or "animal sacrifice" or "masochist sadist interaction" group. Yeah, they deserve to meet in public facilities as well.
Maybe NOT!
One needs to have a blind spot not to see the evil baggage that comes with religions.

Er... *legal* groups.
Which is a perfectly valid distinction to make.
I'm certainly not blind to the danger of religion. However, making the distinction on religion is in direct contradiction to the Constitution.

But ritual animal sacrifice is perfectly legal.

And so are consensual [link|http://www.geocities.com/rhsmcjrotc/parrisisland.html|power mind games].

And I know those...

...that hold the same opinion about certain minority groups. Understand his point or not...its not illegal to be religious (unlike the other examples)...and as such that makes the view bigoted and prejudicial.
