There is already the right to freedom of religion in the Constitution.
But as we saw with Biden as he targeted Christians, it is just ignored.
What are the means to enforce even more laws and regulations that probably will be ignored as well?

How did Biden target Christians and/or ignore the separation of Church and State?

Joe Biden’s religious freedom legacy — and what it means for the future
Instead of striking a balance between conservative and progressive takes on religious freedom, President Joe Biden mostly toed the Democratic Party line.

When President Joe Biden took office four years ago, some more conservative religious freedom advocates were hopeful that he would turn down the temperature of faith-related culture wars.
As a lifelong Catholic, Biden is closely connected to many people who oppose birth control, abortion and same-sex marriage because of their religion.
The hope was that he’d keep them in mind when overseeing policy battles, and temper the Democratic Party’s growing disdain for legal exemptions allowing people of faith to live according to their beliefs about health care, sexuality and marriage.
But instead of striking a balance between conservative and progressive takes on religious freedom, Biden mostly toed the Democratic party line.
He rolled back protections for religious organizations participating in federal programs, pushed for new, exemption-free protections for the LGBTQ community and fought against limitations on abortion access.
These moves and others left many conservative people of faith frustrated with his leadership.
In a column published this week, a Catholic legal analyst claimed no president has harmed religious freedom more than Biden.
He also used the FBI to target the Catholic church
FBI under pressure for targeting Catholics in leaked document
The FBI has since rescinded a memo that detailed how the agency planned to investigate "radical traditionalist" Catholics over extremist links.
www.newsweek.com
The FBI has come under scrutiny after a leaked document showed the bureau warning that "radical traditionalist" Catholics pose as an extremist threat.
Kyle Seraphin, a former FBI special agent and federal whistleblower, obtained the document from the bureau's field office in Richmond, Virginia, and published it on the UncoveredDC website.
The document is titled "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities."
The FBI in Richmond discusses monitoring Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in so-called "Radical-Traditionalist Catholics" or RTCs.
The memo notes that FBI investigations have found that there is a "growing overlap" between the far-right white nationalist movement and RTCs.
The January 23 document claims that RTCs are a small minority of the Catholic Church. They adhere to "anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT and white supremacy" ideology, while also preferring the "traditional Latin mass."
The memo notes that these Catholics reject the Second Vatican Council and show a "disdain for popes elected since Vatican II."
Also included in the memo was a list of Catholic organizations that are defined as hate groups by civil rights advocates the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). These include the Catholic Apologetics International in Pennsylvania and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in New Hampshire.
The FBI has since confirmed to several news sites that it has removed the document from its systems because it does not meet the "exacting standards of the FBI."
"While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, this particular field office product—disseminated only within the FBI—regarding racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI," the statement read.
"Upon learning of the document, FBI Headquarters quickly began taking action to remove the document from FBI systems and conduct a review of the basis for the document," the statement added.
"The FBI is committed to sound analytic tradecraft and to investigating and preventing acts of violence and other crimes while upholding the constitutional rights of all Americans and will never conduct investigative activities or open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity."
The bureau has since been criticized by a number of conservative figures after news emerged of the memo being pulled.
Charlie Kirk, political commentator and founder of Turning Point USA, tweeted: "The FBI was just caught plotting to target Catholics who attend Latin Mass using SPLC rhetoric as justification to treat them as enemies of the state. The KGB didn't go away. They just got the FBI to adopt their tactics."
Finally there will be protection for building Mosques and Madrassas and establishing Sharia Law. What a relief.

My guess is they will go after the Amish next since they voted MAGA down the line.
I just hate those Amish terrorists, don't you? They are almost as bad as those terrorist priests.
