This isn't just a civil rights case. This is quite clearly a violation of one's Constitutional rights to freely practice one's religion.
Yes. Freedom of religion is one of your civil rights, and I used the term in that context.
"Civil rights" is a term that has been used so often to mean what might be more accurately called "minority rights" that it's easy to confuse the true meaning of the term.
ANY violation of your Constitutional rights is a violation of your civil rights. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are BOTH protected by the same First Amendment.
