If this were about the Church this law would look like the one in Pennsylvania, it doesn’t so I conclude it is about an entirely different god. If protection gets thrown out it will most likely happen because these people have chosen to link commerce with religion.
My feeling is that this is a plot by atheist libertarians to destroy religion and tbey are trying to enlist the aid of the very people tbey are trying to destroy.
It could fail, and at best it is a band-aid. The story has not had a chance to play out thoroughly yet.
