He wasn't told he couldn't run a church, he was told he couldn't run a church in that location and under those conditions. Instead of complying with the law and moving his church elsewhere, he chose to ignore the law and is now playing the religion card because the law finally came in and shut him down.
What a hypocrite.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The codes clearly prohibit him from freely exercising his religion. They abridge his freedom of speech. They abridge his right to peaceably assemble.
