You're misusing the word equality.
Looking it up: the quality of being the same in quantity or measure or value or status.
The Constitution forbids laws from Congress to prohibit the free exercising of a religion. The word "equality" of religions is absent. Your assumption that because "no laws" prohibit a a specific religion is tantamount to the assertion that the Constitution declares all religions to be equal is not stated,,, and you are by inference attributing a meaning into the text that is not there nor dealt with in any manner. All it says that you can choose what church to attend. Not that all religions are the equivalent of every other religion.

Fer criminy sakes. MineralMan said that under our constitution, all religions are equal. This can be interpreted as to mean that under our Constitution, all religions have "eqal" rights - the "same" rights to practice their religion. You are reading way too much into his comment and taking extreme liberties with your own interpretation of his comments, merely to win an argument. You look silly in the process and given your "argument," hypocritical to boot.
