That's just it though. I'm not a Christian, and I'm not drawing a line in the sand with my beliefs.
At least Hutterite colonies develop their own, often self-relient communities outside of the city, where the majority of the public aren't going to dwell and function.
I can pretty well assure you, that if a Christian group proposed the idea that they were going to build a community in a
subdivision of Calgary that catered exclusively to the Christian religion and their lifestyle, including an enormous Church of whatever version of that faith they chose, along with strictly-Christian street names and ammenities, that there would be such an uproar over it, they would have no choice but to throw it out the window. It would be considered "repressing" and "discriminatory," because people of other ideologies would not have access to what the certain things they deem as important.
Why should this be any different?
