Its just like any other organization. Is there a NEED for a religiously affiliated organization in that space? Its not bashing if you are analyzing a need. If there were 6 dry cleaners in the surrounding 1 sq mile, is there the demand for a 7th? Its the same thing from a development standpoint.
It is a fine line to walk and I agree we need to be cautious not to stray into either side of the pro vs anti religion realm.
