Well, that right there is the problem...2 problems in the bolded above, actually.So they can mass park to shop but not listen to a sermon. That appears to be the dichotomy. Shopping is essential but religious observance is not. Are drive in movies still open? Presumably not as drive in movies are non essential. I don't have an answer but hopefully the governor does.
One, liquor stores and abortion clinics stayed open as essential businesses. So some religious people felt uncomfortable that it was illegal to sit in their cars in the church parking lot, while people could go to abortion clinics and liquor stores, no problem.
The other issue is the 'right to assemble and practice religion' is a right given to all US citizens.
They can understand not being able to assemble inside churches right now, but why not be allowed to sit in their own cars and listen to the Easter sermon on car radio? What does that hurt?

We do have freedom of religion and freedom to assemble for religious purposes, or we thought we did.
It just seemed to me that pettiness was on parade. JMO
