Do the Mormons have the right to proselytize your child without your consent? The Scientologists? The Moslems?
“Do the Mormons have the right to proselytize your child without your consent? The Scientologists? The Moslems?”
One would have to determine if the Framers of the Constitution had the Scientologists and Moslems in mind and when they authorized the First Amendment, and if it was their original intent to provide protections to non Christian or Jewsih groups that had no organizational history in the United States.
The determination of that question is quite easy and clear as Scientology did not exist and the United States was not an Islmaic nation in 1787 and we are not today.
Thus, the answer would be that the Scientologists and Muslims would not be free to practice a freedom that they do not have under the Constitution and if they did, they would be violating the Right of Christian children and their parents.
