I don’t see why religious organizations have special rights. The law should apply to everybody equally.[/quote]
They don’t have special rights in this regards. SCOTUS said so. More than 20 years ago:
We have never held that an individual’s religious beliefs excuse him from compliance with an otherwise valid law prohibiting conduct that the State is free to regulate. On the contrary, the record of more than a century of our free exercise jurisprudence contradicts that proposition.
