You have bought the lie, FRiend. The 1st Amendment forbids LAWS passed by Congress. It’s the LAWS that are the violation. It is Congress that is the violator.
Go back and re-read the 1st Amendment again with fresh eyes. It doesn’t say what the elitists of today say it says. It doesn’t say what the USSC has said it does.
If an individual, whether a private citizen or a government employee, is restricted from freely exercising religion, then the law under which that individual’s expression is restricted becomes the violation. Not the individual.
Usurpers have taken unto themselves the authority to change the clear meaning and intention of the 1st Amendment. These elitists puff themselves up and claim to be scholars of the Constitution, but they are pretenders instead.
