They simply cannot establish a religion or prohibit free exercise thereof. So, if their new law forced people to practice a religion, or conferred special rights on practitioners of a religion, that wouldn't be allowed. But if they wanted to pass a law that required employers to give employees at least one day off per week? That's probably going to be allowed even if the entirety of the speeches in Congress supporting the bill are that the Bible says that humans need a day of rest. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
