Interestingly, the Jewish Temple of Jesus' day would not have qualified as a place of worship under these criteria. There were specific lines beyond which, successively, gentiles, Jewish women, Jewish men, Levites, and priests could not go. Only the High Priest himself was supposed to enter the Most Holy, and then on only one day a year.

And only allows the “most holy” to come inside.
A return to legalism for the benefit of man’s desire to control his fellow man.
Even more interesting is the fact that the Jewish Temple was located in Israel, not in the UK.
Interestingly, the Brits are saying that if the facility isn’t used for charitable purposes to benefit the general public, then it is not an exempt facility.
I don’t know that there were any laws like this in place during Jesus’ day, do you?
The mormons willingly went into England, ironic since our forefathers fled England due to religious persecution...
