" The bottom line is this: threads which are like churches -prayer meetings, worship services and such - will get the same respect as a closed door at a local chapel.
Free speech does not suffer from the freedom of religion and assembly."

From your statement that, ”I will not recognize secular philosophies as qualified subjects for devotional thread protection”, it sounded as if strict “freedom of assembly” protection would only apply to theistic based devotionals.

Rather an ask for blank check, would you be willing to review an Objectivist devotional post and give it the same protection from challenges if it met some reasonable criteria, other than claiming to be divinely inspired.

Again, objectivism is philosophy not theology and thus does not qualify for protection as a "devotion" or "church-like" subject. Platonism, Marxism, Realism and so on also do not qualify for the same reason.

Would you be willing to review an Objectivist devotional post

Do you have devotionals for Ayn Rand?
