Question

The two clauses of first amendment protections for freedom of religion are the establishment clause and the free association clause.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

This is false. While the first clause is the establishment clause, the second is the free exercise clause. It states that the government will not pass a law that will abridge the "free exercise thereof," concerning religious belief and practice. A person's religious practices, provided they do not break any applicable laws, are not to be limited by legislation.
