The bill aims to prevent the federal government from taking action against people who discriminate against LGBTQ people for religious reasons.

American was founded on a basic principle. One never imposes their religious beliefs on anyone. Ever. Earliest settlers came here because others imposed their religious beliefs on them in a harmful (discriminatory) manner.
Does not matter what your religion says. No American - for legal and for ethical reasons - no American does or cares what any other persons sexual preference is. Even worse, if that is done for religious reasons, then the perpetrator should be condemned as something worse than a Satanic worshiper.
No decent American ever discriminates against LGBTQ people for religious reasons. Ever. Religion is only a relationship between that one person and his god. It has no place imposed on anyone else anywhere in this world for any reason. We had to learn the evil of such religious actions the hard way - Spanish Inquisition, Holocaust, etc.
Religion is only how a man interfaces with his god. No man imposes religious beliefs on anyone else - if he is a good American.
First Amendment Defense Act should be retitled "We want to rape you because out religious says we should". But that would be too honest.
