Chris, between a public entity keeping a sort of religion registry, or a private entity keeping it, which is worse?

Here’s the really weird part about this story, briefly alluded to in the article: He did the same thing last year, got the same kind of negative attention, but obviously didn’t care enough to stop the practice.
