A Permit for free speech? A permit to permit the free exercise of religion? WTF?
The issue is not free speech. They can say whatever they want. Causing congestion and other issues in the neighborhood is distinct from free speech issues.
The Founders were not idiots, and I would ask the folks on this thread try not to be as well. Free exercise of religion doesn't mean you can create various problems for other people when you can easily adjust your practice in non-essential ways to acommodate your neighbors.
The perfect example would be Muslims praying in the streets in France, blocking traffic. Somehow I doubt most of the people on this thread supporting this couple would be fine with a bunch of Muslims blocking their street every day for prayers. We can have free exercise of religion without being obnoxious about it.
I've posted dozens of threads on FR over the years reporting on the persecution and martyrdom of Christians around the world, often under horrific circumstances. This sort of 'ugly Christian' syndrome of petty, law-breaking self-righteousness does _nothing_ to advance the cause of Christ.
