Mark A Shrider said:“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, & to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
If I am confined to my home or church to practice my faith, then my rights will be violated. The First Amendment guarantees us the freedom of religion, not from religion.
2 points.
You cannot have freedom OF religion without Freedom FROM religion.
Not allowing you to use the government to force your beleifs on others does not confine you to only practice your faith in home or church.
