United States DC Circuit

Amendments to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, 42 USC 2000cc-5(7)(A), extending the protections to "any exercise of religion, whether or not compelled by, or central to, a system of religious belief," did not alter the propriety of inquiring into the importance of a religious practice when assessing whether a substantial burden exists.
