Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah Precedents:

1. Thomas v. Review Board of Indiana (1981): The Court ruled that religious beliefs need not be acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehensible to others in order to merit First Amendment protection.
2. Employment Division of Oregon v. Smith (1990): A Law that burdens religious practice need not be justified by a compelling governmental interest if it is neutral and of general applicability.
3. Frazee v. Illinois (1989): The assertion that animal sacrifice is an integral part of (Santerian) religion cannot be deemed bizarre or incredible.
4. McGowan v. Maryland (1961): A social harm may have been a legitimate concern of government for reasons quite apart from discrimination.
5. Schneider v. State of New Jersey (1939): The neutrality of a law is suspect if First Amendment freedoms are curtailed ot prevent isolated collateral harms not themselves prohibited by direct regulation.
