Great quote from the article about the RFRA:
“Three years ago the Supreme Court threw away decades of precedent and watered down the religious liberty of all Americans.... By radically changing the ground rules for deciding claims of religious liberty, the Court alarmed organized religion, civil liberties organizations of all stripes and Senators as different in outlook as Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Orrin Hatch of Utah.... The Religious Freedom Restoration Act reasserts a broadly accepted American concept of giving wide latitude to religious practices that many might regard as odd or unconventional. The bill deserves passage.... With the Restoration Act, Congress asserts its own interest in protecting religious liberty. It’s a welcome antidote to the official insensitivity to religion the Court spawned in 1990.” -- editorial, New York Times, Oct. 25, 1993

You’re absolutely right.

Clarice nailed this and gets to the heart of the 0care fiasco and the leftism so prevalent now.
