between dogma, doctrine and norms. Others act as if collective worship is dogma.
The way I see it, most religions' religious leaders legally negotiate norms against secular constitutional law regardless of dogma and doctrine. So, "observing" or "attendance at public worship" can be confused by religious adherents as either dogma or doctrine that they might apply to constitutional protections.
The SCOTUS will act as if the Constitution protects believers literally until it's pressed to decide.
John Roberts, from what I can tell, doesn't want to do that yet, even though the majority do.
He's between the rock of covid science and the hard place of religions' dogma confused with public worship norms.
SCOTUS' history hasn't been all that modern when weighing science v. religion.
