That whole thing about "or prohibiting the free exercise of" is now providing us with the question concerning Sharia law contradicting US laws. Happily we do not go out and burn people at the stake (at least not since that witch thing) for a different religious practice.

Quite true. The problem is that almost all religious law that has been around a while contains something that conflicts with U.S. laws, or something that another religion would find absurd or offensive. Interestingly, because of how many possibly disruptive practices there are, employers are actually required to accommodate religious practices less than, say, a disability.
