The Constitution does end at the parking lot. That's the whole point of the inclusion in the First, so that what happens inside the church is free from the reach of government. I'm a Christian. The last thing I want is someone's politics in my pew.

I get that he's saying the opposite, that people are free to take their religion wherever, but we had that anyway. Religion isn't confined to a building, it's a person's beliefs, it goes with them always. But dumb stuff like this opens the door the other way, allowing overreach into a church.

I read that as saying that your freedom of religion extends to all aspects of your life, not just what you do in your church. So I can't be denied service at a restaurant because of my religion or fired because of my religion.
