I edited my comment to say "some non-essential businesses" to avoid implication that all non-essential businesses were opened which I didn't intend. >Churches are not given an exception to those rules, which still bar similar things like concerts. This was the decision of the Supreme Court. The Pentecostal Church and the dissenting judges think differently. >And cases like that most definitely have and do reach the Supreme Court: consider hobby lobby or this year’s rulings on teachers at religious schools. These are cases on nuanced applications of the law. The idea that churches have to follow building codes, labor laws and health laws is a settled matter.
