If they were SENTENCED to attend church, that would be different, but being given a choice, I just don't see anything unconstitutional.


The choice is jail or church(denomination of their choice).

 

To make your argument valid, it would have to be a choice of church or the community service project of their choice, which might be doable, if the community service work is also one day a week for 1 hour.
