As a way of getting around this problem, someone suggested the formation of providing products and services via “Christian clubs”, that only retail to given denominations.
But this idea has prospects far and away beyond just limited provision of products and services. For example, for some years now there have been “megachurch” communities, where everyone who lives there belongs, all retailers belong, all the schools are parochial, and the communities are gated, keeping out the outsiders and their problems.
But there is no reason in the world why such communities have to be contiguous. And as long as they do not provide products or services “to the general public”, they are legal.
Importantly, businesses could subdivide, offering *some* products and services to the general public, and *some* exclusively for club members, as long as those memberships were not offered to the public.
In many ways, like grocery store cards, who only offer discounts to store members.
And that’s just what the devil wants to do. To shove the Light behind dark doors. A megachurch or whatever that is cloistered like this is contrary to God’s desires. It is human weakness, not the word of God, which puts Christians into hiding.
