There is the doctrine of separation of church and state, and its rather spelled out in the Constitution. You can have your religious convictions whole and untrammeled unless they violate the laws of the state. But it is not religious persecution. You can speak german, you can drive your horse and buggy, you can wear your clothes, you can live without electricity, running water, and so on...... But you put smv signage on your vehicle whilst on the publics road, and you cant drive your steel wheeled tractors with lugs on the public roadways.
