NO LINKS PLEASE!! PLEASE HELP! During the Pandemic did the U.S. Government violate the Free Exercise Clause in the 1st Amendment?

Sagot :

No, the United States government mandates do not violate the Free Exercise Clause under the first amendment.

** The Free Exercise Clause says the government cannot regulate religious beliefs.

The government is regulating religious actions through laws of general applicability that do not  specifically target religious activity.

Many scholars have argued that “if religious groups receive public support, they should also abide by neutral and generally applicable rules.”
