No, it would mean that you would be protected from religions. Thus no religion has the right to impose any of its beliefs on anyone else.

This is incorrect. The law is based on persecution of religions not the ridiculous notion of protection from hearing about religion.

That doesn't even make sense.

Promotion is not compulsion

Who mentioned protection from hearing about religions? I certainly didn't.

You cannot have freedom OF religion unless you also have freedom FROM religion. Islam allows non Muslims to be taxed additionally, would that be permissible under the 1st Amendment? No, thus no religion can impose its beliefs on anyone else.
