Quote:I guess being for-profit means you do not qualify as a church in the way that would get you out of obeying a law.


You can't just obey the laws you want to obey, and then say you are exempt from obeying certain laws because of your religion. So there has to be some definition of what is a church and what is a business. My guess is that being a for-profit wedding chapel makes them a business and not a church under the law.


I'm totally speculating here. I am no constitutional expert, obviously.

From what I've read that seems to be te case. For profit business are required by discrimination laws to serve equal access. So here's where it becomes sticky, every church, every minister had always charged some kind off fee to use their church and perform ceremonies so will they then be considered acts of business or religion?
