I think this is shaping up for a guaranteed legal challenge via the First Amendment's religious clauses ("Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .) and a strong and continuing pushback at the state level. Since the feds seem to be opting for forcing the issue rather than dialog and mediation, there will be resistance. They could have done better.
