TSSYF WROTE: "I understand that you are looking for specific court cases where someone's Christian beliefs led to a specific exception to a general rule. Perhaps allowing minors to drink the communion wine might be such an example."

Yes, I am looking for that, but I am also looking for cases in which exceptions to Fed/State Laws were made for non-Christians due to their religious beliefs (even if not specifically-written doctrine of a major religion).

Using the example I mentioned earlier re: the Muslim woman who was initially denied a Drivers' License because she refused to remove her Burqa for a photo for a Drivers' License...Did she win or lose? Who won on appeal?

If she won at the Trial Court level and/or won on appeal, have there been other cases in which a Christian won or lost on some related religious-belief issue, e.g. the SSN representing part of the Mark-of-the-Beast?

She lost the case. IIRC, the decision was upheld.

Driving is a privelege (sp? More coffee?) granted by the individual states, not a constitutionally guaranteed right.
