        That is not what they interpret the First Amendment as saying; they claim it does not protect a freedom FROM religion. Seriously. You do not understand who you are dealing with. You cannot appeal to logic or legalities with them. Their entire existence is based on dismissing all of that and enforcing their ideology by any means necessary.
