Steve,

My point is that the government is already in the business of defining =
valid religious practices.  That precedent was established in the case = of
the Neo-American Church (and now maybe the Native American Church?).  = I
think the indefatigible efforts by parts of the Christian community to =
establish their religion via legislation pose a real danger to your =
polytheism. =20

I also think "unconstitutional" may be a better word than
"untoward" in = the case of psychedelic religions.

  John -

  << Why not? The Congress has already created laws preventing the
  establishment of religions based on the use of psychedelic drugs. >>

  While I agree with you that this particular regulation is untoward, it
  opens a can of worms, since it enters the area of special privilege =
for
  specific religions. I'm not sure what the general answer to that
  conflict is.
