"If anything, the two provisions (plus the 14th Amendment) I have cited say very clearly that when it comes to religion, there are some basic rules for the federal government and the states:
1. No specific religion is to be singled out for support.
2. No specific religion is to be singled out for restrictions.
3. No person can have his/her religious beliefs dictated to him/her."
What happens when a religous doctrine conflicts with those rights and other American civil and criminal law? At the very least, Islam is mysognistic...many of the men treat their women as chattel. Their divorce doctrine is unequal; their ownership doctrine is unequal; and on it goes.
