Mike Lee put together a fairly exceptional thread explaining exactly what a vote for Kamala Harris means, especially when it comes to religion. There are many reasons not to vote for Kamala but this is ... scary stuff.
And something everyone on the Right who is claiming they're voting for Kamala because they hate Trump should absolutely have to read.
Twice.
Take a gander:

2. This is the truth: Kamala Harris doesn’t believe that religious institutions should be able to live according to their faith. Rather, they must bend the knee to the popular social justice movement of the day. (Which is the opposite of our most basic fundamentals. Keep going.)
4. There’s an argument to be made that the Do No Harm Act was a (if not THE) centerpiece in Kamala’s short tenure in the Senate. It has among the most co-sponsors of any legislation she introduced. 5. Here’s a link to Kamala Harris’s Do No Harm Act.

6. I struggle a little to understand why Latter-day Saints would vote for her, in light of her efforts to gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but to each his own.
7. I struggle far more to understand why the Church’s media operation would go out of its way to help her hide her crusades against religious freedom.
8. Don’t just take my word for it. Please take a look at this opinion piece, correctly analyzing Harris’s hostility toward religious freedom, published by Michael Gerson in The Washington Post:

Dismantled, or destroyed?
https://www.churchlawcenter.com/church-law/political-activities-by-churches-whats-permitted-and-whats-prohibited/ says there are prohibited political activities. I’ll guess abortion was probably the first one they had to ignore.
One has to wonder why a church lawyer would tell churches they are prohibited from participating in some political activities when the IRS writes on the first line
… Every organization exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code section 501(a) must file an annual information return except:
1. A church, an interchurch organization of local units of a church, a convention or association of churches.
To be perfectly clear:
Executive orders are directions to employees of the executive branch, and are not binding on anyone else. They must be in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the United States, and anyone who believes themselves to be injured by an executive order can sue in federal court and ask that the order be overturned.
There have been many times that federal courts have overturned executive orders of Presidents of both major parties.
If an executive order does not violate current law, but Congress doesn’t like it, they can pass a bill overturning such an executive order. However, if the President vetoes the bill, the veto can be overridden only by a vote of 2/3 of each house of Congress
Pick your own right wing hyperbole. Two for the price of one.
