I do hope that they igored science in deciding whether the freedom of religion exists or not.

I wouldn't.

Authentic Science should never disagree with Authentic Religion (think about it: the God who gave His Word also Created the heavens and earth and built the laws of nature upon which authentic science should be based).

On the other hand, pseudo-science that is based upon a false belief structure, should never be the basis of anything. For example, the pantheistic pseudo-science of global warming.

“Authentic Science should never disagree with Authentic Religion”

Good thing the 1st Amendment protects all religious freedom, and not just “authentic” religious freedom.

Authentic Science should never disagree with Authentic Religion

If there is more than one religion and one of them is monotheist and one is polytheist, then they are mutually exclusive and one is not authentic.

The key to freedom of religion would be in allowing people the liberty to believe and practice religions that we ourselves consider to be "NOT Authentic". The only limitation should be in prohibiting practices that actively hurt others, like human sacrifice of virgins.

The Left wants to ban religious practice that passively harms others, e.g. "Your belief that its wrong to kill a baby, is preventing me from hiring you to kill some babies."
