HaLeivi- so the religious group gets to decide if their practice is dangerous or not? If there was a religious group that required corporal punishment for insubordinate students, and the city decided that this practice is dangerous, they can’t do anything if the religious group says “but we don’t consider it dangerous!”.

I don’t know… I don’t think it’s such a stretch to say that the city, if it has reliable evidence that a certain practice is potentially harmful, can and should do something to intervene, especially if the intervention isn’t outlawing the practice, despite the fact that the religious group argues to the contrary.
