The examples you give are illogical. None of them compare to hundreds of people congregating in an indoor space and then talking and singing out loud for an hour or more. From a medical perspective, that is an extreme high risk gathering. A fairer comparison would be indoor concerts or the like, which were not permitted. Comparing chalk & cheese makes neither the other.
If someone wants to go to church or their respective place of worship and expose themselves thus, then whatever. It does not make them any more devote than the person who decides to care (more some would say) for their fellow man, and not go to their place of worship, despite it being equally important to them.
For me, its an extremely stupid, high risk and dangerous thing to do. It endangers both yourself and those that you then come in contact with.
you miss the entire point of the first amendment. It’s up to each person to make that decision because government can’t be impartial in making that decision. Otherwise you get situations like in the uk where in the 1st lockdown blm protests were ok and police took a knee-but in the 2nd anti lockdown protests are cracked down on
but in any case the decision didn’t say no restrictions. The government for example could ban indoor singing so long as it banned all indoor singing and didn’t single out churches. The government could do %restrictions so long as it did so for all indoor businesses. The government can’t label churches non essential but say law offices and liquor stores are essential but it could restrict the churches if it narrowed the scope of essential businesses very narrowly and shut restaurants for example. And even if it does that the government can’t stop outdoor worship so long as it allows other 1st amendment activity outside whether Biden victory celebrations, trump rallies, blm protests or anti lockdown protests.
btw folks I warned a few weeks ago if Biden were somehow to get to a national lockdown (which for a variety of reasons is unlikely) there would be violence. You only need to see what happened this weekend in the Uk (which is much more compliant than we are) to see it.
