Federal, state and local agencies may given too much deference to the requirement that government not burden someone's exercise of religion in the Religious Freedom Act. There is every bit as strong of an argument on the other side to say government has a duty and and responsibility to provide access to an event or structure used for religious purposes (part of that access for a blind person could easily be a guide dog).

There are some real problems with what constitutes a religion as well. It seems like anything can be a religion, including cult like organizations.

I prefer flickering candles thank you very much. (FWIW - old white Lutheran 🤣🤣🤣🤣

For a church to not permit a service animal speaks volumes about the congregation and its values. Certainly not a congregation I would want to be part of. My guess Jesus would be none too thrilled either.

He was a musicologist with perfect pitch who sang in our choir. His dog had her own name tag.

Unless you know this is a standard practice in churches, you can't really conclude churches suck based on this datum alone. You are right, though, that refusing to allow guide dogs is unchristian.

with his dog - not a service dog, just a pet. Nobody had a problem with it.
