Wow-- land use planners turn religious activity into illegal  activity?  
Hardly.  It's always interesting how the adherents of  RLUIPA forget that we're 
talking about location, not  content.  Land use planners occasionally reject a 
location for a  religious activity, but the activity itself is never forbidden 
by mere land use  planners.  To be sure, religious entities want the most 
convenient and  inexpensive location they can have (regardless of impact on the 
community  or the neighbors), but that religious desire for the ideal location 
for  religious mission does not transform the land use planner's actions into 
actions  that go to content.

"Who else has a political agenda that targets the ordinary activities  (such 
as adoption ministries and health benefits) of mainstream religious  
institutions and turns these ministries into unlawful acts."

 
 


Answer:  Land use planners.
