About 60% of the confirmed new coronavirus cases in South Korea are connected with Shincheonji Church of Jesus in the city of Daegu. That's something like 6800 people.
So if you're a devil worshiper should religious freedom guarantee you the right to human sacrifice? I don't think so. If some nut case wants to get all his parishioners under one roof, which would include the old and the sick, the state should shut him down.

The mere claim of being a religion as a cover for murder is not a defense.
On the other hand, if they are killing liberals with their human sacrifice, the public good should have a mitigating effect on their sentencing.
