-- if previous cases where this sort of thing has been at issue are any indication, actually it will. --

Previous cases have a mixed bag of fact patterns, such as being denied a church use permit in an area zoned commercial / retail.

A provision of RLUIPA bars government officials from imposing land-use restrictions that treat religious groups "on less than equal terms with" nonreligious groups.
For "Ears" benefit, note that it is permissible to have land-use restrictions apply to religious groups.

There is no doubt that our Constitutional rights have been eroded from the Founder’s intent. And the First Amendment has been lawyered to death and is almost extinct.

I however do not applaud it, I think it is a shame how far this country is sunk, and sometimes I think the Constitution is meaningless.

Nothing to celebrate or be smug about here.
