Of course they do. They can be as backwards as they want. They can pray to a pile of rocks, or trees, or passing clouds. No questions there.

What they don't morally have, and shouldn't legally have, is the right to throw an endless supply of wrenches into the gears of progress with endless claims of selective, in both time, and geography, sacredness, and then expect that sacredness to be unconstitutionally embodied into the official actions of government.

Suppose the Vatican said the Rocky Mountains, or Vail or Aspen mountain, or Pike's Peak or ML are "Sacred" and then use that claimed "status" as a wrench to disrupt progress.

That, sir, they do NOT have a right to do.

They need to keep their "religion" TO THEMSELVES, and NOT use it as an endless series of WRENCHES to be tossed into the works of progress whenever and wherever it suits their "agenda". They do not have the right to impose their religion, and its various and sundry declarations of "sacredness", on the rest of society, directly (via threats) or indirectly (via government action).

Nobody else does, and nor should they. This is the USA, even if it is Hawaii, and it is high time to acknowledge that fact, Hillbillies in Hula Skirts notwithstanding.
