It is the assertion of whomever holds a set of beliefs in whatever gods whatever divinely given doctrine they cling to, that those beliefs and that book is to be given superior consideration over the secular laws and secular documents of my nation that I reject. And if Scalia cannot put aside his belief that the earth is 6000 years old when he is making Supreme court decisions then he is no better than the Ayotollahs in Iran using their holy book to enforce their faith on their countrymen.

So you protect religious freedom by keeping it out of secular spaces, like our courts.
