Supreme Court rejects Nevada church plea to allow larger congregation

Amee Vanderpool@girlsreallyrule·6h

John Roberts was the deciding vote.

So, it's a constitutional violation to not give public money to Christian schools, but it's not a violation to keep Christians from congregating in whatever numbers they choose?

based on building codes? Have churches demanded that they be exempt from fire codes restricting building capacity?
