We used to not fucking hire faith based charities for government work at all to avoid “entanglements” that might violate the Establishment clause. But the Supremes decided that test was basically unworkable (it really was kinda fucked up), Congress passed RFRA because they are idiots and the last 5 Presidents have worked at both contracting out government and including religious organizations for a variety of reasons (the right because it makes their nutbag base cases happy, the left because the role church has in the African American community). So here we are – we basically can’t not hire them for fear of a lawsuit that we are discriminating against religious types but we can’t require them to not discriminate if their faith tells them too. The answer is to get rid of RFRA, but that won’t happen as long as the Christian right thinks it benefits them.
