For a start, it is already in the constitution that one is not to persucute people for their beliefs, creed or religion.

FIRST AMENDMENT
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, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So to put that in context for all the smoothbrains in the back throwing peanuts:
Quoting a Bible passage is now illegal according to the new regulation e.g.
Mathew 26: 3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.
5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
Jesus was arrested and unjustly tried and condemned by the leaders of the Jews. Under Roman rule, the Jews had no power to put someone to death. Therefore, the Jewish leaders sought to find an offense under Roman law by which Jesus would be punished by death.
In Matthew 27:1–10, we learn that Jewish leaders delivered Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea.
Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed. 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor. 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”
“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”
5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

How perfectly apt.
