Hmm. If only their were an amendment baring congress from doing that very thing.
No, they want to stop religious people behaving in a way that is not considered correct for the society now. For example if my religious belief is that I should cut the still beating heart of a human and display the corpse the state be able stop to that. If you agree then you are restricting the religious rights of an Aztec priest, shame on you.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
