It gives religious people and institutions expansive protections from laws and regulations they disagree with on "sincerely held" religious grounds.

Aside from reading, I've been listening to the BP podcast religiously during my commute to and from work, and bouncing ideas off my partner (she's is on-board, thankfully!)

I took about 75K out of my house to get my jump start.I too, was a Dave Ramsey follower, religiously trying to get my mortgage paid down. 

You can tell instantly by the language and the religious connections they try to use. 

However, it is one that I personally have to oppose, since, for religious reasons, I am opposed to taking on hyper excessive amounts of debt.

I chimed in on this because so many investors I know get into Real estate thinking they will have to do nothing and get a rude awakening.

Churches are specialized financing, while some banks will lend there are specialty brokerages from religious organizations that are usually a better deal, search "Church financing broker" that might get it.The others are commercial financing unlike residential, I suggest you go to your bank first, where you have a banking relationship and you can talk to others as well.

Save religiously for the next two years, build your credit, limit unnecessary debt, and buy your first house hack when you turn ~21.

@Joseph Kostigen, graduate, secure W2 employment, save religiously, build your credit, limit unnecessary debt, get pre-approved, acquire and house hack your first deal.

The best advice I can give you is to spend more time creating processes that covers all the bases, document it, and follow it religiously.
