Again, it does NOT say they cannot participate in religious activities. It says:

a) Prohibited Activities- An approved national service position under this subtitle may not be used for the following activities:
...Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of proselytization, consistent with section 132.

As I said before, that just means they can’t use these activities as their service requirement. They can participate in as much religious activity as they want as long as they don’t try to say that is what they are doing for their time.

I still think it’s bullcrap, though.
