Answer:

The protection of religious freedom is laid out in the First Amendment, which states that Congress cannot establish a state religion nor prohibit free exercise of religion. ... The Free Exercise Clause gives all Americans the right to practice their religion freely, without interference or persecution by the government.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual's religious practices.
