I think that when churches rent out their property like any other business, then they should be treated like any other business ... subject to the non-discrimination laws of the city-county-state where they are. It seems like wanting to have your cake and eat it too to say “We want to rent out property like the hotels and rental management companies, but we don’t want to be subject to the same laws they are subject to because we are a religious body.” My church does not act like a business, it acts like a church, so we don’t have to worry about this.

If they want to rent out their facilities in a way that is consistent with their religion, like for christian concerts, weddings and such that should be there business. You obviosuly don't like it, but the first amendment makes it clear that government "shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Where in that statement do you see an exception for churches that selectively rent out their property to others of their religion?
