[nagdu] clarification on religious exemptions

[Marianne Denning]

I believe the answer to that question is no.  Churches can't just
discriminate because they want.  I believe it has to be part of the
religious beliefs.  We have discussed Muslims and dogs in the past and
they may not allow dogs in the Mosque because of religious beliefs but
a Catholic church cannot deny access because the priest doesn't like
dogs since the CatholicChurch does not say anything about dogs as part
of their beliefs.
