Here in NM, the tribes are Catholic. They've combined their own religion with Catholicism and self identify as Catholic. Since it was illegal as recently as the mid 60s for them to do their own dances and other ritual, they close most of it to outsiders, understandably so. But they're still Catholic and some of those things are done in the church.
Buddhist temples allow Christians to speak about their religion all the time, although they'll politely discourage proselytizing ranters.
This is just the case of one more profoundly ignorant man overstepping his boundaries.
