(d) Stopping a religious group from buying a building based on their faithExplanation:

Free exercise clause states; "Congress shall enact no charge regarding an institution of religion, or preventing the free operation thereof.."

In the light of the above law, all religion must be given equal space and freedom to practice their religion and shall not be prohibited only because of difference in beliefs.

Answer from: arpolin15

Answer :

The correct answer is option D.

Stopping a religious group from buying a building based on their faith violates the free exercise clause.

Explanation :

The free exercise clause of the First Amendment in infers to the provision of prohibiting the Congress to make any such law that prohibits the citizens to freely exercise their religion. It is significant to ensure the freedom of religion in United States.

Further Explanation :

The free exercise clause reflects upon the America’s commitment to ensure Freedom of Religion where its provisions give the liberty to its citizens to freely exercise their faith and religious beliefs without the intervention of the state. However it is worth noting the fact that the clause mandates the State to make any laws that violates the religious freedom if individual, while on the other hand the Supreme Court had placed some limits to the freedom of practicing religion. For instance the First Amendment does not allow the practice of human sacrifice despite the fact that some religions assert so. Hence it can be concluded that the citizens have the absolute freedom to believe on the religious practices, the freedom to act on those believes is not unlimited.

However the religious groups in the United States may not be exempted or prohibited to buy, sell any real property for the purpose of prayers, meetings and conduct other related activities.
