That's ridiculous. If you have a religious belief that makes you unwilling to wear a mask, then you can absent yourself from any place that requires mask wearing. I personally don't like it either, but if someone legally entitled to control access to a particular piece of property sets rules, visitors have to comply. Or, go to court to challenge.

Otherwise, you have to accept that defiance either way. So if hard left protestors obstructing traffic for hours claim it is supported by their religious beliefs, and that it would be a violation of their religious liberties to move them, the cops would have to let them stay.

Not the way it works.

Except they don't. That is the point.

It depends.

And you really can not see the difference between someone sitting peacefully not bothering anyone and violently stopping traffic and threatening people.

Would you care to take a minute and think about what you just said?
