Really? The Founders would have cheerfully accepted human sacrifice?

I think not.

Putting words in my mouth is a poor argument. Judicial Activism is usually construed as foolishness propelled by absolutism. This is what you are advocating, not me.

Islam is a cult. Not a religion. Violence and mayhem are its eucharist, bloodletting in the name of Allah its sacrament, subjugation of women its creed. None of these are amenable to the Constitution, much less Western Civilization as a whole.

Again, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. You are advocating foolishness as virtue.

You appear to have difficulty understanding English.

The Aztec religion is a religion and is therefore protected under the Constitution.

This does not mean it protects their human sacrifice practices.

IOW, the Constitution absolutely protects any and all religious belief. It does not protect all religious practices. While somewhat greater latitude is given actions that are religious in nature, extreme practices such as human sacrifice are not protected.

IOW, beliefs (thought) are protected, actions not so much. I don’t see why this is difficult to understand.
