Apple is in a self imposed category of only legit legal way to install software on users devices and is thus morally keeping users from practicing their religion.

The logical thing is to make Apple decide between servicing the entire American and European market and caving to repressive regimes.

Many religions actually predate iphone apps and thus may be able to get on without them. I think Moses himself got by with basic html though I may be wrong on that.

You probably wouldn't allow Comcast to filter out all catholic content for subscribers even though the internet hadn't been thought of when the religion was founded.
