Personally, I don't think any gathering of any group is okay, church or other. But if we want to spit in the face of our very, very smart founders and start violating whatever article or ammendment to the Constitution we deem disposable, this country is not going to be in a good place.

This is not about politics and constitutional rights! It's about caring for your fellow humans and saving lives!
