It bars the state from using its power to forcibly impose a religion.
It has been explicitly interpreted as protecting the right to tell
others that they should join your religion. In fact, it protects the
right to tell anyone that they should do just about anything. The right
to tell others what you think they should do is just as important as
their right not to do it.
Try phrasing that without the word "should".
It's an exercise we use on inmates to go just ONE DAY without the word
"should" in their mouths. It's very hard to do!! Ha! Hack the brain.
