Not according to the first amendment. If a law violates the first amendment, it is an unconstitutional law.

The first amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

This isn't Congress-made law, this will be court-made law.

James Madison as a Congressman in 1789 drafted what became the Bill of Rights. Ironically it was a case he was party to, Marbury v.Madison, which was the vehicle for creating judicial review of laws...which has turned into the judges making the laws mean whatever they want them to mean.
