Bill -

The problem I see with the Oregon provision is that while it clearly
provides freedom to worship Jehovah (aka "Almighty God") in any
way one wishes, it arguably may not protect  anything else. It would depend
on whether a court interpreted the first religion clause (Section 2), and
whether the judges felt it defined the scope of the other clauses.

Is Oregon's Supreme Court elected?
