More proof that courts don't understand the difference between "Freedom of Religion" as stated in the First Ammendment and "Freedom from Religion" which is not guaranteed or implied by the constitution.

You are very correct.

First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Can't for the life of me understand how even State Supreme Court Justices can't understand "make no law........//..........prohibiting the free exercise thereof". IMHO if Congress has made no law to that affect, then by what authority, other than self imposed, does ANY court have to impose prohibition of free exercise of religion?

How was anyone's free exercise of their religion harmed here?
