They’re a law group that only takes ideological cases, cases that would allow Christians to violate laws with impunity.

At least you’re consistent with not wanting Christians to get special treatment
I would love it if Christians would actually help homeless people rather than using them in a legal ploy to expand religious exceptionalism.
