Great idea, let’s just disregard the first amendment entirely. And then once we’ve done that, the government would also be free to establish a state religion and force all of us to follow it.
I think we better put that monkeys paw back where we found it.
Would you say the same if Muslims were doing human sacrifices? (It must be noted that they do not actually do that, this question is for demonstration purposes only.)
It’s not disregarding it entirely. There are a bunch of things that aren’t protected by freedom of religion, and protecting people who are an immediate threat to others shouldn’t be something that’s protected.

In many states priests are mandatory reporters.
But they can’t be forced to abandon their religious beliefs by the government by breaking the seal of confession.

Then they should be prosecuted for it.
