No, no, no,,,, you just don't grasp this issue. The "whole concept" of government regs affecting churches or Establishments of religion in any way, be they voluntary or not--is UN-Constutional, by virtue of the "make no law" clause. Make no law means just that, Congress cannot make rules, either for churches to accept or to opt out. The lower courts are not addressing the constitutionality of the rules themselves, only applying the written rules. There should be no options for churches to even deal with, the fact that these exist at all runs afoul of the "make no law" clause...

I wonder precisely which part of "make NO law" they do not understand?
