Scouring legal notices and legislations for inroads and possible threats to the Christian way of life? There is often nothing to fear in such compilations as the one you put together. It's really a small simple feat to compile a scare-mongering article like this one. I could compose in a few minutes, a compilation that proves that having sex with your own wife is illegal in certain states, through digging up obscure or even recent drafts, and showing the potential that they can be applied to mean sex with your wife is illegal.
What matters most is application of the law and precedents. The law, idealy speaking, is fair and balanced because of the idea of one and the same law applies for all (theft is a crime), but the application of it is all too unjust, unfair and uneven as we probably all know (lighter sentences for caucasion males with good lawyers).
Just because there are monitoring bodies to identify and report sources of tension and they threw in a word "religion" does not mean
proselytization = tension = crime.
Your compilation pulled something from Chinese politics/law, general state law of one state, and the agenda and mission statement of an Inter-Agency monitoring body, all to guide the reader to a conclusion that proselytization = tension = crime. It's very thin, unconvincing and unfounded in my opinion.
