The list of necessary activities that occur inside of a church is exactly 0.

Grocery stores must remain open so that people can feed themselves.

The difference is that if I ask the average progressive protester to wear a mask and social distance themselves, they will do their best to do so.

Christians will tell you to go fuck yourself, no communist is going to get them to wear a mask and stay home from church.

Learn how to parse mistakes from malice. Church attendance in the time of pandemic disease is malice.

100% agree.

Maybe some of them... but I’ve not met many like that. The folks in my immediate sphere are happy to take all the measures, (masks, no singing, no socializing, multiple services of smaller groups) if it means they can worship. I’m sure there are some examples of bad behavior, but your demonization of an entire swath of people is not entirely accurate.

The supreme court sides with those who spread plague.

That some of you have an education equal to a grade schooler does not change your political representation and goals.
