then they're not very smart people.

If they are smart people, then they just don't care.

If they don't care, then they're definitely not a Christian church of ANY denomination of christianity.

If they are a Christian church of any denomination, then they shouldn't be.
Or they are used to living in a rural area of Florida and haven't needed to be concerned with the sensitivities of Villages People.

My dad lives next to a potato farm that fertilizes with animal waste. They aren't inconsiderate to my father, that's just the way things have always been done.

My in-laws live in a house on a flight path to a major regional airport. They hear planes most of the time. The airport isn't being inconsiderate, the airport was there before my in-laws moved in.

The church burns trash. Perhaps they always have. The trash burning hasn't changed, the neighbors have. That doesn't mean you have to buy a house near that church, and the OP was being helpful to let others know, but it also doesn't meant the church is being inconsiderate or criminal by continuing a practice that perhaps has been ongoing since the church moved there.
