'Religious liberty' includes the freedom of communities to impose their own moral judgments & social norms. 'Equal protection under the law' means everyone must be immune to those judgments & norms. There is no credible way to reconcile these conflicting principles. Never was.

Liberal societies usually adopt a Protestant concept of religion, that religion is part of one's conscience and that being religious means nothing more than having a certain concept of God or higher deity that is purely subjective. Religion as ritual or festival has vanished.

Yep. I'm seeing a lot of that rhetoric in the replies here. 'Religion as individual conscience' isn't enough to support 'religion as constitutionally protected social practice & moral communities based on freedom of association'
