It is probably illegal, but consider the benefits of them wallinh themselves away.  Most enclosed societies are committing socioicide.

...socioicide.
Ooo.  I like that word.  If that's your own neologism, it's a good one.

Only suggestion: 'sociocide' flows better than 'socioicide', at least to my ear and tongue.

Good to me.  The second version of a GREAT IDEA is always a bit better than the first.  And who am I to criticize my GREAT IDEA!?

I think the Methodist Church owns all the land in this community.  Whomever buys a house does not own the land, just the structure.  That fact may doom the lawsuit.

That's where lawyers earn their money.  Creating arguments among themselves for fun and profit... 

It seems unlikely that you can own a house but no property (access to the house requires land, etc), but association rules can say any damn thing they want until struck down by a court.  This could get very interesting.

If this was a Muslim enclave in America that excluded ownership or transfer of property to Christians certain people would be outraged.

I do suspect you might be on to something there...  And imagine what would happen if it was an atheist landlord enforcing such ungodly rules on the RIGHTEOUS!

We have Mormon enclaves already. Technically "Christian" because what's-his-name wasn't stupid, but a revealed religion of dubious nature anyway.

But what legal rights do they have for religious exclusion?

No more than anyone else, of course. Just pointing out that exclusionary groups will bunker down to avoid contact with the real world.

That's what laws are for.  And they should be applied.
