When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”
After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

Freedom of religion says Satanists can have a church. Agnostics and atheists can form a church if they like. Muslims can have their mosque. Jews can have their synagogue. Amerindians can have their holy sites and services. FSM can build a church anytime they like. We even allow those scam artists in the Church of Scientology. If these assholes can convince people that they have a church for whites only, oh well. I won't be attending, but they likely won't care.

I think he can still do that in Mexico, if he can cow a few government employees and office holders. Not so much in the USA.

Stupid. Shit posts. And, you can confidently say that because you live in Mexico, you study Mexican culture, you study Mexican religion, and you study Mexican government and law.
In view of those facts, would you kindly inform me, just how many gruesome deaths have taken place in Mexico in the last ten years? I mean dismemberment, torture, and maybe even ritualistic removal of organs? How many such bodies have been discovered in mass graves? How many more have been put on blatant display on street corners, near churches and/or government offices?
I won't insist that the death worshipers are making sacrifices again. But, there is a strong indication that some of that shit is related to the old Aztec religion.
How would you explain Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte, and the rest of her pantheon, otherwise?

Facts are one thing, emotion another. I can't say that I followed BorderlandBeat closely, but I read enough of their work to gain some understanding of what life in Mexico is like. Unfortunately, BB has been shut down.

There is little rule of law south of the border, and virtually none within 100 miles of the border. It is run by the cartels. And, as I alluded to, the Old Gods have as much, maybe more, sway than the New God, Jehova, or Christ.
In Mexico, cartels engage in running battles from time to time with government troops. And, sometimes, the dragon wins. Mexico City does not have the power to effectively rule all of Mexico. Or, the will, for that matter.
