Freedom of Religion

The Warren Court held that this meant governments must have a compelling interest before passing a law that unduly burdens the practice of religion. Later court decisions retreated from this standard, permitting governmental actions that were neutral to interfere with religion, but Congress attempted to restore it by passing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act , which the Supreme Court held was inapplicable to state and local government actions, albeit applicable to federal action.
