"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

As is yours. Many of the Founders believed the country woud not survive without a religious foundation. Washington, Madison, Webster, Adams, and many others.

Each of the 3 cases you site are 'Zoning' issues. Too many cars, too many people, in an area*zoned 'Residential'.
Commercial areas have different zoning characteristics, like adequate space for Parking.
It's NOT about 'Religion', 'Politics', or 'Bingo', it's about 'Residential Zoning'.

NOT a founder lol
Poor domer...
If you had bothered to read the cases with an intelligent mind, you would have seen they were using zoning codes to prevent one from holding a prayer meeting. There was nothing in the ordinances to prevent one from using their private residence as they were being used. There was nothing "commercial" about the activities. It was all about religion.
For instance, the Fromm case used an ordinance that banned religious meetings. The Denver case said "The Denver zoning administration stepped in and issued an order stating that the Reiters were violating a city ordinance that prohibited more than one "prayer meeting" at a private residence per month. The couple was told that if they allowed their friends to visit their home more than once each month for the purposes of prayer and fellowship, they could face criminal sanctions. ".
Is that not about religion?
