No, you are right but I am saying that they have the right to worship how they want, which is in a church. This personal freedom to do so is important, taking that away could lead to the Government taking many other rights that people have.

Churches don't cause harm, the building is a place for the congregation of hive minded idiots. The religious belief inside the church causes harm but if you take the church away then the religion will still exist and so will the harm it causes so I see no point in banning them.
