Passed in 1993 by the 103rd Congress, both houses had Democrat majorities, the bill was sponsored by Democrat Senator Chuck Shumer, signed by President William Jefferson Clinton.
In 1963 Adell Sherbert was fired for not working on Saturday, she was a Seventh Day Adventist. The Warren Burger court found in her favor. After that other minority religions were supported in their religious desires, if possible. In 1990 in the Smith case native Americans were denied the right to use peyote.
The Democrats decided to “protect” the rights of religious people by passing the RFRA. “This restored the principle that the government may not infringe on a right unless it has an exceptionally good reason for doing so.” Economist, July 9, 2016, “Left, Right.”
The “Storman” case refers to a family owned pharmacy that was told it had to dispense all FDA approved drugs, some of which the Stormans object to on religious grounds. In the past they had referred people to pharmacies that would fill the script. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case as it isn’t at nine justices. So what, don’t the justices look at the law objectively and apply it? Obviously not, since 5 to 4 or vice versa is pretty regular. How can nine of our best judges disagree so many times, maybe personal bias, naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Why is it our society seems to demand total compliance with a way of thinking when whoever can get what they want at a different business. Cakes. Prescriptions. Flowers. Good grief people, you disagree with me so you bring out the jackboots, the brown shirts, etc.
I am a Christian. Your religion is secularism. Let me practice mine and I will let you practice yours. (religion, a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects:)
