Your First Amendment right to exercise your religion depends on what other rights it bumps up against. That's why it's a frequent conundrum in court. When the arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby wanted out from Obamacare's requirement that employers offer free coverage of contraceptives, the Supreme Court ruled narrowly in its favor. The corporation's First Amendment right "protects the religious liberty of the humans who own and control" it, Justice Samuel Alito said. And when a Lutheran church in Missouri was denied state funds to resurface its playground, the high court said the separation of church and state does not apply to purely secular activities such as swings and slides. But religious claims are not a slam dunk, as Phillips, the Colorado baker, may discover. At least four justices — possibly five — are likely to say his speech and religious beliefs must take a back seat to public accommodations laws requiring that merchants serve all customers. Religious establishment
This is another area where more than two centuries haven't reduced passions on both sides, often leaving courts divided. Public schools cannot lead children in prayer, a prohibition that has been extended in recent years to graduations and football games.
