When a cat gets upset that you brought a dog into the house, it is not unreasonable to assume the reason for the cat's upsettedness is that cats and dogs fight like cats and dogs. Similarly, when a religious institution objects to the proximal location of a business whose sole purpose activity which is in direct contravention to the religion's basic tenets, you don't have to go too far to come up with reasonable reason for that opposition. If you hear quacking, you look for a duck. You don't look for a gerbil with a gift for avian mimicry. - Mike V.

Maybe there wasn't any stated opposition (I didn't go to the hearing so I don't know what was said) -- in which case, where did you get the idea that -- in your own words -- "A religious group here in University City is asking the Philadelphia government to deny a zoning use of a property based on religious law."?
