Free Exercise of religion means the Founders thought that my having to put up with someone talking about religion was far less significant than people being able to freely voice their opinions about their religion.

Isn’t it strange that these people want to “protect” others from having to hear speech of a religious nature.

Our Founders were such tough guys that they could endure the expression of opinions or sentiments other than their own. (Also the dentistry of their time.) The species has devolved over the generations since then, it seems.

Whenever I hear the phrase ‘freedom of religion’ I mentally acknowledge that the same applies to Muslims. However, at the same time and thoughts I object to Muslims using this religion aspect to impose an Islam society Sharia law over or together with our Constitution and derivative laws. Something has to give and I would not feel unconstitutional to impose on all Muslims for citizenship at least that they had to denounce any dedication to any other form or activities of Government that differs or or would conflict with our Constitution. My mother had to take such an oath to become a USA citizen. I would have much more ease if such a requirement turned many if not most Muslims back to to the Islamic nations.
