Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freedom of religion comes from both the Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or showing preference for one religion over others, and the Free Exercise Clause, which protects individuals' rights to practice their religions without interference from the government. This has been confirmed by numerous court cases, including the landmark case of Everson v. Board of Education (1947).

B, C, and D are all incorrect. The Constitution does not limit freedom of religion to only those religions in existence at the time of its creation (B); it does not give individuals absolute rights to take part in actions based on their religion if those actions violate laws or harm others (C); and it specifically prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or religions, regardless of whether individuals are free to practice other religions (D).
