I'm old enough to remember the desegregation of schools and "separate but equal". I'm uncomfortable with the government at any level violating anyone's rights.

I think I see where you're going with this. The bill of rights prohibits government intrusion, not private entities.
Religion is a voluntary association. Adults can make their own decisions in the matter. Yes, there's the issue of children and indoctrination. I'm not sure where the line is drawn. Is indoctrination abusive? I know some would make that argument. I've got some discomfort with intrusion into parental rights to raise their children according to their own value system. Again, I'm not sure where the line is drawn, but it's there.
