Yes, the First Amendment to the Constitution says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Further, the Constitution allows people to take oaths or affirmations (recognizing those, who on religious grounds cannot swear an oath). And the Fourteenth Amendment notes that no person can be deprived of equal protection of the laws. Courts have interpreted this phrase to include religious discrimination in some contexts (and Congress has enacted laws prohibiting religious discrimination in, for example, the employment context.)

Discrimination has 2 meanings, and that i think of our concern is that we are removing the two one in each of them! dis·crim·i·na·tion Noun: a million.The unjust or prejudicial scientific care of distinctive categories of human beings or issues, esp. on the grounds of race, age, or intercourse. 2.acceptance and records of the version between one ingredient and yet another. i think of we've incredibly plenty have been given rid of the 1st. i think of the project is that for the duration of society's zeal to make surely each physique be seen as equivalent, that is going too some distance and attempting to make surely each physique be seen as comparable - we are easily doing away with the 2nd type of discrimination to boot. Society has found out to understand how we are all the comparable. Now it has to start up remembering back the approaches wherein we are distinctive. while a Christians experience of right and incorrect won't enable them to do some thing at artwork, the project isn't that there is religious discrimination - the project is that there is an entire loss of discrimination, an utter lack of ability on the area of the regulation to 'understand and comprehend the version between one ingredient and yet another', between a Christian and a non-Christian.

The Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment does effectively deal with religious discrimination.
If a state government were to create a policy whereby it would only allow members of one religious group to enroll in the state-funded universities, that policy would be an infringement on religious freedom.

Yes. There should be no state religion. Also you have the right to pursue happiness in the way you see fit. Also no law will be enacted that discriminates against religion, race or creed. This is were you are protected by the bill of rights.

I am only aware of "Just freedom of religion" in the 1st Amendment.
The rest is Supreme Court rulings on what they think those words mean.
They basically make up anything they want which is generally what liberals could not win at the ballot box.

Yes - the constitution spells out that American's are entitled to Freedom of Religion - not freedom FROM religion.

Have you tried reading them? That's the only way to get the correct answer, you know.
And judging by some of the answers already given, I'd say you're not the only one who hasn't read them.
