Very good point. The First Amendment protects the free EXERCISE of one’s religion, which includes the practice of that religion’s values and teachings in one’s everyday life.
Not since the civil rights laws were passed in the sixties.
They want us to think that free exercise means you can go into your building and do your thing: clap and stomp, liturgize, sing and shout, kneel and genuflect, or whatever is YOUR way of doing “Worship”.
That is just one piece of free exercise.
“Free Exercise” means getting to LIVE your religion.
I wish this photographer had been Amish or Hasidic Jew or something like that: can you imagine the courts disagreeing with the Hasidics about what does and does not constitute part of their religion?
