Content: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Now we go through each point and see if it violates the first amendment: A. No. Rights were certainly violated, but not 1st amendment rights. B. Yes, Freedom of the press is violated. C. This is a first Amendment issue. so I would say yes, but the government does get to exercise some control over religion when it violates the law. Clearly a group of Aztecs wouldn't be allowed to practice human sacrifice under the first amendment.
