So now that organization is suing an ex-member .

She was exercising her first amendment rights to speak about what she believes is not going right at that particular religious organization.

So I agree with your opinion that the religious organization in question hasn't got a legal leg to stand on.

As for private organizations that have their own rules (e.g. gender bias, religious) they can be regarded as cliques and should be treated as such.
