Something to think about: Muslims would EXPLOIT the heck out of such laws. I say DOWN WITH THESE SILLY LAWS.. “See Constitution!”
You're exactly right.
Apparently you have not read these laws or do not understand these laws. The laws do not grant new or special rights for individuals; the laws place limits on government, prevent government from imposing upon individuals, forcing individuals to violate their faith.
These type of laws, as exampled in Hobby Lobby case found Constitutional and cited as reason to stop the federal government via Obamacare from forcing owners of Hobby Lobby to violate their faith and purchase mandated items. The Supreme Court also stipulated that the Federal Law did not apply to State governments; such is why you see States now passing similar laws to RESTRICT government from forcing people to violate their faith.
Remember, the U.S. Constitution limits the Federal; not so much the States in many specific instances. I would not hold my breath waiting for this Leftist Federal Government to step in and attempt to intercede in the defense of an individuals religious liberty at the State level any time soon.
