But now we have another example of how to at least Chris Cuomo religion is a sort of nice but not too important thing.
Charlie Kirk talked about how he's not being allowed to go to church at the RNC convention.
He was making the point that Democrats have made it harder to go to church than to buy weed or go to a restaurant. Also Democrats have defended protests where thousands of people gather and break every social distancing and mask wearing rule.
Cleary the Democrats either want their followers to die or they are using the China virus as an excuse to make it hard for people to go to church.
Cuomo's take on this was:
“I feel badly for [Kirk] that he believes that that’s the world he lives in, that he’s being kept from going to church. Why? Because of a pandemic,” Cuomo said. “I want to go to church. I miss going to church. I understand there’s a pandemic. You know who else does? My priest understands it.”
"He believes"? Clearly it's a matter of fact not a matter of belief since Cuomo goes on to say that he too isn't allowed to go to Mass. But Cuomo had to slip in that attack on Kirk's credibility; clearly dishonesty is strong in this one.
Cuomo went on to say:
“One has nothing to do with the other. You are dealing with people who are responding in this country to outrageous acts of social injustice,” Cuomo said. “To say, ‘Oh it’s the same as going to church,’ no, it isn’t.”

Cuomo says he's a Catholic. Catholics, like all Christians, believe that the most important thing we do is to worship God. While acts of charity are important we do them out of love for God who calls on us to love our neighbor.
But clearly Cuomo thinks that church is not important, that worshipping God isn't important. What matters is only what we do politically.
Aside from the fact that there are no outrageous acts of social injustice other than how Democrats treat Blacks the simple matter is that to millions of Americans going to church is every bit as important as protesting.
But like most leftists Cuomo believes that his priorities are the only correct ones.
Oddly he goes on to say:
“If you told people they couldn’t protest, if you invoked martial law about these types of situations, you would have chaos,”
Apparently telling people that their 1st Amendment right to worship is being abrogated won't upset people according to Cuomo.
What he's really saying without realizing it is that the protesters refuse to follow the law, unlike church goers, and that since he doesn't think going to church is a big deal people who disagree with him are just plain wrong.
Cuomo is a true leftist; his god is social justice and his support of riots is greater than his support of our 1st Amendment rights to exercise our religion.
A final note. No one is calling for churches to be exempt from all social distancing requirements like riots are. Rather people are calling for holding churches to the same restrictions that we hold other locations, like restaurants, to.
