Religious organizations make their own internal laws, rules and regulations. Congress does not legislate their rules for them.

Congress should not be leglating with respect to them (USC Amendment I).

The new legislation was intended to end discrimination against faith-based non-profits. The government already provides funding for anti-religious non-profits like the ACLU, the NEA and Planned Parenthood. The new legislation ends the imbalance.

The constitutional and conservative way to stop discrimination would be to stop funding all of these organizations, not liberally funding _more_ of them.

What Congress has done is end legislation that discriminated against religious organizations.

The Constitution does not forbid it.

But I agree that the most conservative course would be to end all funding of any organization.
