As the Court today recognizes, Title VII contains an important exemption for religious organizations. § 2000e-1(a) ; see also § 2000e-2(e). The First Amendment also safeguards the employment decisions of religious employers. See Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC , 565 U.S. 171, 188-195, 132 S.Ct. 694, 181 L.Ed.2d 650 (2012). So too, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 exempts employers from federal laws that substantially burden the exercise of religion, subject to limited exceptions. § 2000bb-1.
