Gregg,

I would hope that the states wouldn't do this (at least I'd hope that *all*
of them wouldn't ), but I don't think there's anything in the Bill
of Rights preventing it.  I think, though, that most state constitutions
mirror the Federal constitution with regard to the 1st Amendment.

Do you read the Constitution differently w/ regard to the ability of the
various states to enact religious laws?

So this would argue that states could limit the right to assembly and free speech?

  Jeff,

  I'm not as sure about the rights (or lack thereof) of a state to muck
about with religious legislation as I am about the prohibition against the
Congress doing it.

    So have local governments, which is what inspired the Religious Freedom
Act...
