Why shut down places of worship?

From Tempo

It is proving hard for people to appreciate difference, as is
clearly shown in the recent closing of places of worship in the
country. When truth is believed to belong to a single group,
empathy is gone, and any different way of praising God is branded
heresy.

This is the typical thought of a group trying to guess the
Creator's conception by applying its very limited human capacity.
The places of worship of other religions are therefore considered
a public nuisance to the majority of believers.

The question is whether there is any feeling of totality when
communicating with God. Why should the determination to perform
religious duties be defeated by the fear of one's surrounding
environment? Individuals already set on worshiping God will
remain unaffected by external conditions.

When religious duties are executed with prejudice, fear and
animosity, it is not surprising to see certain people praising
God while at the same time abusing their fellow human beings.
