As states crack down on gatherings due to coronavirus, some exemptions for religious groups keeps pews full.
, governors in at least three states have exempted houses of worship from statewide bans on mass gatherings, and this weekend will offer a first test to see if any congregations forge ahead despite the warnings.
"That’s an area we don’t have the ability to directly enforce or control," Whitmer said during an appearance on"Fox News Sunday."She said she felt pressure from Republicans in the state legislature to include the exemption and said her hands were tied by the separation of church and state. In a pool photo provided by the Michigan Office of the Governor, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tells Michigan residents to stay at home, in her most sweeping order of the coronavirus crisis, Monday, March 23, 2020, in Lansing, Mich.
Rachel Laser, the president and CEO of the nonprofit advocacy group Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, said the governors are misinterpreting restrictions on impeding religious expression. She says the Constitution actually requires religious and secular institutions be treated the same.
