The Constitution protects the right of the people to freely exercise any religion they choose. It also prohibits Congress from establishing an official religion, the way King Henry VIII did when he created the Anglican church. One of the reasons many people emigrated from England was that the government persecuted members of religions other than Anglican and it forced or intimidated many to become Anglican against their will.

∙ 13y agoThe First Amendment's free exercise clause prohibits deliberate religious persecution and discrimination by the government. The government may not, for instance, outlaw a particular religion, refuse to hire someone from a particular religious group, or exclude the clergy from political office. Likewise, the clause prohibits the government from singling out religious practices for punishment on the basis of their religiosity. For instance, the government may not specially ban religious animal sacrifice and yet allow ordinary nonreligious killing of animals.
