I've been told in my Constitution class that Freedom of expression of religion includes freedom of conscience because you express what you believe. Even though it's not stated in the Constitution, the Founding Fathers debated this issue. James Madison said, "Gov't is instituted to protect every sort of property. Conscience is the most sacred of all property."
💯 % correct! This is why any sentiment from the government that one's own religious beliefs are "not religious" or are "misaligned" with the "real" religion is illegal. In America, there is no such thing as a heretic.
