The First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...”
Currently, government respect for “free exercise thereof,” has been sacrificed to respecting only established patriarchal religion often in the form of corporate religion. Patriarchal religion claims divine right, authority and duty to coerce submission to patriarch’s rule, the very thing the authors of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution composed our rule of law to prohibit.
With our current alternative facts, the new religious freedom laws are designed to deny women, born children, minorities and others freedom to practice their own religion, to live as self-governing free citizens and to access resources to fulfill responsibilities.
