               CHAPTER 21B--RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RESTORATION
 
Sec. 2000bb-4. Establishment clause unaffected

    Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to affect, interpret, or 
in any way address that portion of the First Amendment prohibiting laws 
respecting the establishment of religion (referred to in this section as 
the ``Establishment Clause''). Granting government funding, benefits, or 
exemptions, to the extent permissible under the Establishment Clause, 
shall not constitute a violation of this chapter. As used in this 
section, the term ``granting'', used with respect to government funding, 
benefits, or exemptions, does not include the denial of government 
funding, benefits, or exemptions.
