I'm of two minds on that.

1) My gut is yes of course: To each their own.

2) Churches' privileged status in this country (e.g. tax-free) complicates. I am not comfy/happy with institutions exempt due to their supposed "being above all that" becoming, effectively, advocacy groups.

Dad does the church. Son does the guns. But the son is a member of the church.

Honestly, you should be more upset over colleges that take millions in both state and federal funds being an advocacy group.
