Texas Christians brainstorming ways to make life harder for Muslims, Tim Tebow backs away from a sketchy Christian financial seminar operation, India tears into a mosque to make room for Hindu pilgrims, the EEOC sides with a Christian who refused to use a trans coworker's pronouns, a church leader mostly avoids punishment for beating a gay teenager during an exorcism, and Sean Feucht gets sued over where a donor's $250,000 actually went.
