-- The STATE isn't even permitted to say "religion" or "religious" in constructing it's laws. --

Makes it hard to prohibit discrimination based on [that forbidden word].

-- They have no authority to determine if a meeting is "religious" in nature! --

I think the religious nature of the meeting is being raised as a defense to the charge. IOW, "we can have as many people as we want, any time we want, as long as it's religion and we are quiet."

The zoning question is the impact of the activity on the character of the residential neighborhood. I linked to the town code above, if you want to look up the terms or art that town uses to restrict uses and otherwise enact zoning/use.
