Maryville Baptist here in Kentucky has attempted something similar. They were holding in person services and have now sued the state claiming the restrictions (not quite a stay at home order) was infringing upon their right to practice their religion. The injunction they filed to continue the in person services without punishment was shot down pretty quick in court and the judge specifically pointed out that as long as Governor Beshear’s orders are against all mass gatherings and not just churches they don’t have a leg to stand on. He had also given churches the option of “drive thru” services. Beshear also cited multiple businesses for violating those restrictions in the same Easter weekend they took down license plate numbers of their parishioners to report to the local health departments in case they would have to quarantine over an active case.
Great example. The restriction does not just cover religious practice, it covers all gatherings during the executive order.
