Considering all the talk about separation of church and state, a term which is not in the Constitution, btw, and has occasionally been pooh-poohed in the courts, why is Connecticut trying to get involved with the organization of "certain religious corporations"?

Or is it that they're trying to regulate corporations run/owned by religious groups, not get involved with how a religious group organizes and runs itself? I think I'd need to know more about how churches and other groups are organized (like do you have to be listed as a corporation to also be a non-profit, or can you be a non-profit anything?) to truly understand. But certainly, on the face of things, this doesn't look kosher.

I should also add that, as "separation of church and state" comes up in a lot of the convos Prin and I have, I mentioned it, because I feel like the last time she and I talked about it, we were trying to decide where the term originated in American politics. I replied, because this was the first time I had had a chance to mention it to her. :o)
