The word "church" means "people." Specifically, it means "called out people."

A church is not a building. It's a bunch of people who've gathered together for mutual support through faith in Christ.

Therefore, any act of religion that I make is a personal act of religion, so to take even a dime of my act of religious giving, is to curtail my act of worship. That makes my religion "curtailed." If something is "curtailed," it is not "free."

If I block the stream behind my house, it is "curtailed," it is no longer "free" flowing.

That's correct. I said the 1st applies to everyone, regardless of whether, or not, they're a church member.
