Just a reminder that "freedom of religion" involves more than just the right to believe in your religion. It also guarantees that no person will be required to believe in any specific religion (including christianity), and that any person has the right to not believe in any religion at all.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Free speech does not allow for yelling fire in a crowded theater on a whim and the free exercise of religion allows just that, free exercise of religion. That right stops when it infringes on my right not to.
